Today we will be following the A-Day schedule. That means you’ll be attending periods 1, 3, 5, and 7— so be sure to double-check that you’ve got the correct books and binders for class. Again, this is an A-Day. See your TA teacher with any questions.

With the start of the new semester, there are a few scheduling notes that you need to know. All 6th graders on the Exploratory Wheel, and all 7th and 8th graders taking semester-long courses, will be starting their new classes this week. Be sure to check StudentVue to find the class name and location. Once again, new Wheel and Semester classes begin this week. Contact your class counselor with any questions.
.
There’s also an important change to your Wolf Time. The new Wolf Time rotation doesn’t begin until next MONDAY. So this week, all students in all grades should report to your TA for Wolf Time. Once again, everyone should go to TA for Wolf Time this week. See your TA teacher with any questions.

It’s almost time for the 2nd quarter Wolf Paw Drawing!!! If you received any Wolf Paws last quarter, remember to put them into your grade-level box outside of the cafeteria by this WEDNESDAY for a chance to win some great prizes. The drawing is scheduled for this Friday, but again you MUST submit your Paws by WEDNESDAY to be eligible. Good luck!!

Calling all students participating in the Virginia Junior Academy of Science! Please check-in with Ms. Warden THIS WEEK during Wolf Time or lunch to discuss your progress. Once again, those students working on VJAS must contact Ms. Warden this week.

Attention Munners! There is no Model UN meeting today. Instead, delegates should use this time to prepare for this weekend’s conference. See Mr. McDermott with any questions, or share your document for assistance.

Get your “special someone” something sweet! The WMS Sister Circle will be selling Candy Grams for Valentine’s Day, between now and February 10th. They’re just 1-dollar for a lollipop and a gram, or 2-dollars for a candy bag and a gram! Order forms are available from your TA teacher. See Ms. Mays in the main office with any questions.
.
Calling all actors, singers and dancers! The WMS Spring Musical — The Addams Family — is coming soon! Auditions are scheduled for TODAY and Thursday after school in the Auditorium. Plus, anyone interested in Tech Crew should also come on those days. To learn more and for a sneak peak at the audition music, just scan one of the QR codes hanging around the school. See Ms. Rosenthal with any questions, and break a leg!!

The WMS Boys-to-Men Club will be meeting this Thursday in room 124 during ASP 1. Participants will build friendships, develop leadership skills, and promote tolerance for all. Check it out — and make a difference in our school and our community. Contact Mr. Gardner, Ms. Wielechowski or Ms. Sicer with any questions.

Attention all TAs!! Smile for the camera! Over the next few weeks, the WMS Yearbook Staff will be taking TA pictures of the entire school! Here’s the schedule: 6th grade TAs go first, this Thursday and Friday — 7th grade TAs will be next Monday and Tuesday — and 8th grade TAs will be next Thursday and Friday. And finally, all make-ups and retakes will be scheduled for the week of February 14th.

Yearbook photographers will come to your room for the picture. They’ll be arranging everyone into 2-lines — but if you’d like to do something more creative as a TA, be sure to practice your pose in advance so you’re ready to go. Contact Mr. Schonfeld with any questions about TA pictures.
.
And now it’s time for WOLF PACK PRIDE!! Congratulations to our WMS musicians who participated in the APS Honors Chorus, Orchestra and Band over the weekend. It was an amazing performance — and they absolutely WOWed their audience. Bravo to you, and way to go, musical wolves!!

And finally, everyone in this country has the right to a quality education. But Student-Reporter Caroline C. wants to know: what kind of education is best — public or private?

The answer may be different for different people. Let’s take a look!!
