1/8/2026 - Williamsburg

Today we will be following the A-Day schedule. That means you’ll be attending periods 1, 3, 5, and 7 — plus Wolf Time — 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.
.
Turn off your screen, and pick up a BOOK, because it’s time for WMS READS! Today during Wolf Time, students will have the entire period to read a book of their choice. And if you don’t have anything to read, just head over to the library. Our librarians will help you find the best book for YOU. Happy reading!!
.
I can fix it!! “The Student Helpdesk of Williamsburg” is hosting its weekly meeting TODAY during ASP 1 in room 136. Students and staff are encouraged to bring in your phones, watches, iPads, laptops, or anything from home, and the Helpdesk can fix it — or at least tell you what the problem is. All “techies” are welcome! See Ms. Hogwood with any questions.
.
Calling all basket-ballers!! Today is the LAST DAY of tryouts for the girls basketball team. So if you haven’t done so yet, you MUST attend today’s session after school. And remember that you need to have a current physical on file to participate. See Mr. Clark with any questions.
.
Takedown, reversal, pin!! The WMS co-ed Wrestling team is looking for wrestlers! There are no tryouts, and ANYONE can join — whether you’re an old pro or just getting started. Interested wrestlers are encouraged to come to practice THIS WEEK after school in the gym. But you must have a physical on file to participate. See Ms. Hogwood with any questions.
.
’Tis the season to be giving! The WMS SCA is collecting winter clothing for families in need throughout the Metro DC region. Requested items include gently used winter boots, coats, hats, gloves, and scarves. Donation bins can be found in the main lobby and by the cafeteria until this FRIDAY. See Ms. Dittimus with any questions.
.
Did you miss Picture Day last fall, or did your picture not turn out so well? Then you’re in luck — because “Picture Make-Up Day” is scheduled for next WEDNESDAY, January 14th, in the Auxiliary Gym. If you never got a picture this year, then you can just go on down. But if it’s a retake, you must bring your unwanted picture packet with you to exchange. And remember — if you don’t take a picture, then you WON’T be included in the WMS yearbook. See Dr. Koval with any questions. And say cheese!
.
Who’s ready for a fantastic show?! The WMS theater department is proud to present our Winter play: The Snow Queen — based on the classic story by Hans Christian Anderson. Performances are scheduled for next week — Thursday the 15th and Friday the 16th, both at 7pm in the auditorium.
.
Tickets are just 5-dollars per person, and can be purchased in advance on the WMS website using SchoolCash — or you can buy them at the door using regular cash. See Mr. Randle with any questions, and we hope you enjoy the show!
