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.

It’s nearly time once again for Parent-Teacher Conferences! Conferences will be held “Arena style” this THURSDAY afternoon from 4:30 – 7:30 PM, and on FRIDAY morning from 7:30 to 11:30 AM. Tell your parents that they can meet with ONE or ALL of your classroom teachers. No appointments are necessary, but meetings are limited to 5 minutes each. Parents and teachers together — what could be better than that?!

Hey 6th graders — 7th grade is calling! Course Request Forms are due TODAY. Please make sure they are completed, SIGNED, and turned in to either Ms. Boyers or Ms. Pugliese before you go home this afternoon. If you’ve lost your CRF or need help finishing it, go to the main office and see your counselor as soon as possible. Again, 6th graders — your CRFs for the 7th grade are due TODAY.

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!!

Calling all Scholastic Art Competition WINNERS! Mr. Skryzpek will be distributing your Gold Key, Silver Key, and Honorable Mention certificates on MONDAY in the library during TA. And you’ll also be taking a group picture for the yearbook — so it’s very important that you’re there. Once again, Scholastic Art Competition winners should go to the library during TA on MONDAY for your certificates and yearbook picture. See Mr. Skrypek with any questions.

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. All TAs are encouraged to complete a class “bracket” by March 11th — to see if you can pick the winning books each week. And the best bracket in each grade will win an awesome prize!!
.
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!!
