12/18/2023 - Williamsburg

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 SPIRIT WEEK here at WMS!! Thanks to all of our students and staff who showed their HOLIDAY SPIRIT by wearing their PAJAMAS to school today. You’ve got spirit, yes you do!
.
And here’s the breakdown for the rest of the week: Tuesday is Candy Cane Day — so everything you wear should be red and white; and Wednesday is Holiday Gear Day — so wear something to honor whatever you’re celebrating this holiday season. Get into the school spirit for Spirit Week, and be a part of the Wolf Pack Pride!!
.
Attention all students! Now that we’re in the last week before Winter Break, some of our after school procedures will be a little bit different. Starting today, there will be no more LATE BUSES and no more INTRAMURALS. And on Wednesday, there will be no after school CLUBS. But everything goes back to normal when we return in January. See Ms. Hogwood with any questions.
.
She shoots, she scores!! Tryouts for the Girls Basketball team begin on January 2nd. To sign up, please scan the QR code outside of the cafeteria. See Mr. Clark or Mr. Nelson with any questions.
.
Calling all athletes!! If you’d like to participate in any winter sport — either Girls’ Basketball or Co-Ed Wrestling — you MUST have a physical on file by this TUESDAY, December 19th. See Ms. Hogwood with any questions.
.
There’s nothing worse than getting sick — ESPECIALLY right before Winter Break. So here are some super easy but super important things that you can do to protect yourself from falling ill: WASH YOUR HANDS!! Fully cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing. And, if you’re not feeling well, please STAY HOME. It’s up to all of us to keep our shared environment HEALTHY and SAFE! See our school nurse with any questions.
.
And now for a “technology tip” from Ms. Hwang! If there’s anything wrong with your iPad — including password problems, cracked screen, broken apps, WiFi, or anything else — please tell your TA teacher so they can notify technology support. They’ll have you back online in no time!! And don’t forget to charge your iPad over Winter Break!!
.
And speaking of technology — If your iPad is ever out of commission, WMS has a limited number of laptops that students may use instead. However, several of these laptops have gone missing lately, and we need them back! So when you’re cleaning out your locker before Winter Break this week, please look to see if there’s a WMS laptop in there. And if there is, TURN IT IN!! Thanks for your help, wolves!!
.
WHAT ARE THOSE??? If you have any old shoes lying around, don’t throw them away — because Williamsburg is joining a Sneaker Recycling Program called “Got Sneakers!!” “Got Sneaker”s reflects our school’s commitment to sustainability. It helps reduce the amount of shoes that end up in landfills, reduces carbon dioxide emissions, AND provides shoes to people who need them.
.
Plus, “Got Sneakers” will make a monetary contribution to EcoAction Arlington for every pair of donated shoes. To participate, just bring your shoe donation to room 233. See Mr. Sundwick with any questions. And thanks for putting the W-in-Everything, Williamsburg!!
