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.
.
And speaking of the daily schedule, this is a reminder that with the day-off tomorrow, we will be SKIPPING the next B-Day — so when you return to school on Wednesday, we’ll also be following the A-DAY schedule. Again, be prepared for an A-DAY when you come to school on Wednesday.

Hey 6th graders — 7th grade is calling! Course Request Forms must be completed and SIGNED by this WEDNESDAY at the latest. Just turn them in to either Ms. Boyers or Ms. Pugliese.

And don’t forget that if you’re applying to be on the 2021 Yearbook staff — you also need to compete and return the application form. Get one from your grade-level counselor or Mr. Schonfeld in the Library Classroom. The WMS Yearbook — be a part of the PRIDE!!

It’s the cold and flu season — and you may have noticed that a number of your classmates have been falling ill lately. But there’s something super easy and super important that you can do to protect yourself from those nasty germs: WASH YOUR HANDS!! Challenge yourself to wash your hands throughout the day — especially before lunch and after using the restroom. Health officials say that lathering your hands with soap for 20 to 30 seconds can kill the majority of germs that make people sick. So let’s keep it clean, wolves, and wash your hands!!
.
And finally today — The 4th annual WMS March Madness Tournament of Books is about to begin!! The Sweet-16 has been posted on the display board outside of the main office.

To learn more about the contestants, just scan the QR codes on the display board. And starting next week, you can vote online for your favorites books until we have our winner. Good luck, wolves, and may the best book WIN!!
