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.

Smile for the camera! The 2020 Yearbook will be finishing up all TA class pictures today. And there’s just a couple — Mr. Luengo, Ms. Mentch, and Ms. Karki. The photographers will be arranging you into 2-lines for the picture… OR, if you’re feeling more imaginative — you’re encouraged to creatively stage and arrange yourself for the picture. Just be sure we can see everyone’s faces! See Mr. Schonfeld with any questions.

Attention WOLFBOTS! The Wolfbots Robotics meeting has been CANCELLED for today — but will be back next week at its regular time. Once again, there will be NO Robotics after school today.
.
Science, Technology, Engineering and Math! If YOU’D like a career in STEM, enjoy building things, and like working with POWER TOOLS — then Mr. Dudek’s ACT 2 “Inventions” class is for you! This “hands-on” class is being offered for the 2nd semester — from February to June — and meets after school 2-days a week. The sign-up sheet is posted on the Activities Board by the cafeteria. See Mr. Dudek in room 129 for more information.

Attention all musical theatre wolves! Auditions for this year’s Spring musical — Mary Poppins, Jr. — are scheduled for next MONDAY and TUESDAY during ASP 1 and 2 in the auditorium. Performers should be prepared to sing a song — even “Happy Birthday” would be just fine — and recite a nursery rhyme as part of your audition. And even if you don’t want to perform ON stage — the production needs plenty of “backstage” help, too! Stage crew sign-ups will also take place next week after school. See Mr. Brown with any questions — and break a leg!!

The WMS Check-In program will be hosting a pizza fundraiser TODAY after school outside of the cafeteria and in the main lobby. All proceeds will go to the World Wildlife Foundation — to help victims of the Australian brushfires. So bring your money and your appetite — and support the Australian recovery!
.
And now it’s time for WOLF PACK PRIDE!! All students selected for the Wolf Pack Lunch are reminded to come to the Library Conference room today during your grade-level lunch period — for all the pizza you can eat! And it’s a chance for you to talk one-on-one with our administrators, and to share their thoughts and concerns about the school. Please DO NOT go to the cafeteria first; but come directly to the library. We can’t have the party without you! See Ms. Mays or your TA teacher with any questions.
.
And now for a technology tip from Ms. Solomon! If the home page in your Canvas app is BLANK or just isn’t working — here’s a quick fix. Go to the Settings app on your iPad, swipe down and tap “Student”, then toggle the “Reset cache on next launch” button. Finally, re-open the Canvas app — Search for Arlington Public Schools-Student, and log log back in. The home page SHOULD start working again. If not — or if you have any other problems — please submit a Tech-Help Request form. And remember — Ms. Solomon’s got the solution!
.
That’s all for now, but stay tuned for the 2nd Quarter WOLF PAW DRAWING — coming up immediately following the Morning Announcements. If your name is selected, please come to the main lobby and claim your prize! Good luck, wolves!!
