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.

And now for a technology tip from Ms. Solomon! The 8th grade Writing SOLs are scheduled for this THURSDAY and FRIDAY — 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!

Hey, Wolf Pack! Do you have old sneakers at home that you’ve outgrown? Instead of throwing them away — you should DONATE THEM! As part of Williamsburg’s commitment to sustainability, we are now collecting athletic shoes in room 233. Shoes in decent condition will be donated to those in need, while everything else will be recycled. Once again, bring your old shoes to room 233. See Mr. Sundwick with any questions.
