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.

Calling all 8th graders! The upcoming 8th grade Science SOL will cover THREE YEARS worth of material: Earth and Space Science from the 6th grade; Life Science from the 7th grade; and Physical Science from the 8th grade. In preparation, Ms. Willet will be offering a Science SOL review TODAY during ASP 1 in room 115. No registration is required, just come on by. It will help you do your best on the science test.
.
And now for a “technology tip” from Ms. Hwang! The last round of SOLs are NEXT WEEK, so your iPad needs to be working! If you are having any problems with your school-issued iPad — whether it’s password problems, not connecting to the internet, glitching apps, cracked screens, or ANYTHING else — please tell your TA teacher so they can notify technology support. They’ll have you back online in no time!!
.
If your iPad still isn’t working next week — or if you forget to charge it — there will be laptops available. However, a number of our laptops have gone missing lately, and we need them back! So when you go to your locker today, please look to see if there’s a WMS laptop in there. And if there is, TURN IT IN!! Thanks for your help, wolves!!
.
Calling all 7th and 8th graders! Do you like dance, music, and marching band? Then this next announcement is for you! The Yorktown Colorguard is now recruiting for next year’s Fall season. There will be an informational session TODAY from 3:30 to 4:30 at Yorktown High School in room 177; and open houses from 6 to 9pm at the YHS main entrance on May 21st and 22nd. See Ms. Hogwood with any questions.
.
We’ve got spirit, yes we do, we’ve got spirit, how about YOU?! Next week is SPIRIT WEEK here at WMS — leading up to the annual Pep Rally on Friday the 24th.
.
Here’s the rundown: Monday is PJ Day; Tuesday is Twin Day; Wednesday is Favorite Color Day; Thursday is Sports Day; and Friday is Class Colors Day — 6th grade blue, 7th grade white, and 8th grade black.
.
Ms. Hogwood will be monitoring your participation — and the grade with the most school spirit all week long will be awarded an additional 500 points at the Pep Rally. So get into the school spirit for Spirit Week — and be a part of the Wolf Pack Pride!!

And finally —- there are many serious issues confronting us in the world today. But we can make a difference!
