3/1/2024 - Williamsburg

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.
.
On your marks, get set, GO! Tryouts for the WMS Track & Field team are scheduled to begin on Monday, March 11th. But if you’d like to participate, you need to submit your physical by Friday, March 8th. See Ms. Hogwood or Coach Treble with any questions.
.
Have you checked the lost and found lately? There’s a table outside of the cafeteria with DOZENS of jackets, sweatshirts, water bottles, lunch boxes, and so much more. Be sure to take a look — you may just find some long lost treasures!
.
Up next, we need to talk about LOCKERS! If you’ve decorated a friend’s locker, those decorations MUST be removed after a week. We’ve got to keep our lockers neat and clean — both INSIDE and OUTSIDE. Plus, make sure you’re CLOSING your locker every time so it locks. And if it won’t close, see your TA teacher for help.

And now for a “technology tip” from Ms. Hwang! It’s time to upgrade your iPad! APS has just approved the newest iPad operating system — iOS 17.3.1. All students are asked to install the new version as soon as possible — but please be aware that it takes about 30-minutes to complete, so you should do this AT HOME.
.
Just follow these simple steps: First open “Settings” on your iPad. Next, select “Software Update”, tap “Download” and then “Install.” Then just wait for it to finish.
.
And if you’re having any trouble getting the new iOS to install, be sure to ask your TA teacher to submit a tech support ticket. Don’t forget! Install iOS 17.3.1 as soon as you get home.
