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.

It’s “time” to choose your first Wolf Time rotation! There’s a host of activities that your teachers have planned for you during Wolf Time this year — and YOU get to pick your favorites. 6th, 7th and 8th graders are all asked to complete their Wolf Time Selection forms during TA today. And then your first rotation will begin on October 18th. See your TA teacher with any questions.

Another reminder about PE uniforms! Long story short: they’re still not here. According to the vendor, labor shortages and supply chain problems are causing the delay. So everyone is asked to please be patient and understanding as we try to get your orders filled.

Hey, buddy! You need a ride? Arlington Transit will be visiting WMS TODAY with an exclusive opportunity for students.

TOM: Attention TENNIS TEAM!! All tennis players are asked to please complete ANOTHER Google Form on the WMS website.

It’s nearly time for Boys Ultimate Frisbee season! The first practice is scheduled for next Tuesday, October 12th. All are welcome to join — whether you’re an experienced player or just starting out.

And now it’s time for WOLF PACK PRIDE!! The girls Ultimate team split their double-header yesterday — shutting-out Gunston for their first win of the season; but also losing a tough match against Jefferson. 6th grader Alex W. was unstoppable in the Gunston game — even against their 8th graders. And props to 8th graders Erin M. for her highlight real catch-and-assist, and Cara G. for scoring HALF of the goals in the Jefferson game. Way to go, ultimate wolves!! [clap]
