And now for a “technology tip” from Ms. Solomon! And this is important — so LISTEN UP!! All students in all grades have a homework assignment this week! Your school-issued iPad NEEDS to be updated to the latest operating system: iOs 15.4. But you can ONLY do this until March 25th — that’s when the county will turn this OFF for students. So do it now!
.
Here’s the procedure: Just go to Settings -> then select General -> and finally Software Updates. If you can’t update due to storage, please submit a Student Tech Help Request form with a list of apps to remove. Don’t delay, wolves — update your iPad TODAY!!

Did you participate in an after school club this year? Then this next announcement is for you! The WMS Yearbook is taking club pictures this week.

So again, if you’re in Model UN or Inked, please start heading over now!

Pictures continue on Tuesday with WolfBots, TSA, and Talking Sports; and Wednesday with Mathcounts and the Check-In program. We’ll update you on the remaining clubs as soon as they’re scheduled. See your club sponsor with any questions — and say CHEESE!!

And finally, there’s a group of students here at WMS that’s making a BIG difference in our school — and in our shared community.
.
It’s the Substance Abuse Task Force, and they’ve got a message for all of us about making good decisions — and staying safe. Roll Tape!!
