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.
.
I hope you’ve all been on your best behavior lately — because Parent-Teacher Conferences are TODAY from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m., and TOMORROW from 8 to 11:30 a.m. Conferences will be conducted “Arena Style” — so no appointment is necessary, but they are limited to 5-minutes each. Parents and teachers together — what could be better than that?!
.
In preparation for tonight’s Parent-Teacher Conferences, the gym will be CLOSED today. All PE students should report to the auditorium instead. Once again, if you have PE today, please report to the AUDITORIUM.
.
What’s Up, Duloc? The WMS Theater Department will be hosting a Bake Sale Fundraiser during Parent-Teacher conferences this FRIDAY outside of the library from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m. There will be snacks, baked goods, and plenty of coffee. And all proceeds will go to support our upcoming Spring musical: Shrek, Jr!! So tell your folks to bring some cash, and help us make the show Shrek-tacular!
.
And now for a technology tip from Ms. Solomon! The 8th grade Writing SOLs are scheduled for NEXT WEEK — so your iPad NEEDS to be working. All students are asked to make sure you’ve updated to iOS 16.2. Please do this AT HOME and make sure your iPad is plugged in. And if you’re having any other issues, whether it’s password problems, your battery won’t charge, not connecting to the internet, glitching apps, cracked screens, or ANYTHING else — please submit the online “Student Tech Help Request” form through the WMS website. Ms. Solomon’s got the solution to getting you back online!
.
And finally — the 7th annual March Madness Tournament of Books is about to begin! This year’s theme is books that were made into TV shows or movies!
.
Here’s what to do: work as a TA to create your own Sweet-16 bracket and submit them by March 8th. Then every week you’ll get to vote — and the winning TA will get a prize! Voting begins next Monday. For more information, go the library Canvas course. May the best book win!!
