The SOLs keep rolling along!! Today, all 7th graders will be taking the Civics and Economics SOL; while the 8th grade will be taking the Science SOL. The test is scheduled to run from 8 to 10am, and most students will be grouped with their content-area classes. TA teachers have all of the room assignments, and can tell you where to go.
.
And here’s some more information about the test: The ONLY materials you may have with you are your iPad, a pencil or pen, a water bottle, and a book. NO OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES are allowed — no phones, smart watches, air pods, e-readers, nor anything else.
.
Also, once the testing session has begun, student will NOT be allowed to go to their lockers. So make sure you’ve got everything you need BEFORE the test begins. See your TA teacher with any other questions. Good luck on the SOL, wolves!!
.
While 7th and 8th graders are taking their SOLs, 6th graders will be watching a MOVIE during TEAM TIME. Your TA teachers will tell you where to go. We hope you enjoy the show!
.
Once the SOL period is over, we will be following a MODIFIED C-Day schedule. That means you’ll be attending periods 1 through 7 — so be sure to double-check that you’ve got the correct books and binders for class. And remember, there is NO Wolf Time today. Again, this is a MODIFIED C-Day. See your TA teacher with any questions.
.
And now for a “technology tip” from Ms. Hwang! Since you’ll be using your iPad for the SOLs, it 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!!
.
Calling all students! This is a reminder that the late bus is ONLY operating on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. There is NO LONGER a late bus on Wednesdays. So make sure you’ve got a plan for getting home. Once again, the late bus NO LONGER runs on Wednesdays. See Ms. Hogwood with any questions.
.
Attention 7th and 8th graders! The Yorktown Colorguard is now recruiting new members for its upcoming Fall season. Colorguard combines music, dance, flag, and sabre spinning in a fast-paced and spirited performance. Interested students are encouraged to attend the Colorguard open house TODAY from 6 to 9pm at the Yorktown main entrance. See Ms. Hogwood with any questions.
.
We’ve got spirit, yes we do, we’ve got spirit, how about YOU?! It’s SPIRIT WEEK here at WMS! Thanks to all the students and staff who showed their school spirit and dressed up for today’s theme: FAVORITE COLOR DAY!!
.
And here’s the rundown for the rest of the week: 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 this Friday. So get into the school spirit for Spirit Week — and be a part of the Wolf Pack Pride!!
