• Today we will be following the B-Day schedule. That means you’ll be attending periods 2, 4, 5 and 6 — so be sure to double-check that you’ve got the correct books and binders for class. Again, this is a B-Day. See your TA teacher with any questions.

• Hey, buddy!  The Best Buddies Club is meeting RIGHT NOW in the cafeteria. Participants should check-in with their TA teachers then come on down and join the fun.  Thanks, buddy!!

• This is a reminder that EVERYONE should bring your iPad to PE from now until next Tuesday.  You’ll be recording fitness scores and setting goals for the following quarter.  When fitness testing is complete, you can lock you iPad in your PE locker. But DON’T FORGET them after class!  Once again, everyone should bring your iPad to PE.
  .
• Winter CHEER tryouts are almost here!  Students interested in cheering for the winter basketball season are encouraged to attend practice on November 29th and 30th — in preparation for TRYOUTS on December 5th.  And make sure you have your physical turned-in!  See Ms. Hogwood with any questions.
  .
• And now for a “technology tip” from Ms. Solomon!  If you are having any problems with your school-issued iPad — whether it’s password problems, not connecting to the internet, glitching apps, cracked screens, or ANYTHING else — please submit the online “Student Tech. Help Request” form through the WMS website.  Ms. Solomon’s got the solution to getting you back online!

• And now for a “Transportation Tip” about riding the bus. If you’re ever planning to take a bus that’s not your own — like if you’re going to a friend’s house after school — you MUST bring a note from home to the main office NO LATER than your grade level lunch.  Again, do NOT wait until the end of the day to get a bus pass — because there isn’t time and you’ll miss the bus!  See Ms. Carey in the office with any questions.
  .
