TESTING TIME continues here at WMS! The 8th grade Cavaliers and Rams teams will be taking the Multiple-Choice WRITING test today. Testing locations are the same as yesterday — but check with your TA teacher if you’re unsure about where to go. Students are reminded to BRING YOUR IPADS to the test, as well as a book to read for when you’re finished — but NOTHING ELSE: no backpacks, no smart-watches, not even a pencil. Good luck on the test, Cavaliers and Rams!!
.
As for our 6th and 7th graders — you’ve got an important job today, too: BE QUIET IN THE HALLS! Students will be testing in the LIBRARY and ENGLISH TRAILER all morning, so please be respectful and responsible as you walk between classes. Teachers will be posted throughout the school to remind you. Thanks in advance for your consideration, wolves!!
