Today, we will be administering the MAP Growth assessment in Math to the entire school. To accommodate the test, we will be following a modified A-Day schedule. That means TA ends at 8am, the test goes until 9:30, and then you’ll be attending periods 1, 3, 5, and 7 — but there is NO Wolf Time. Again, this is a modified A-Day with no Wolf Time. See your TA teacher with any questions.
.
And here’s a little more information about the MAP test. Most students will remain in their TA for the test unless otherwise directed by your TA teacher. All you need is your iPad, but you may also have a pencil, a water bottle, and a book to read for when you’re finished. No phones, earbuds, smart watches, nor any other electronic devices are allowed. And a quick note for all students in Geometry — you will going to the LIBRARY with Ms. Willis. See your TA teacher with any other questions. And good luck on the test!!
.
And speaking of testing, did you know that MOST students will finish their tests BEFORE time expires? And that once you’re finished, you are NOT allowed to use your iPad? So you need to plan ahead! Students are encouraged to stop by the library and check-out a good book! It’s too late for today’s test; but you can still get one later for TOMORROW’s test, and for all the other tests later this month. You’ll be glad you did! See our school librarians for a recommendation.

Give a Helping Hand to a four-legged friend! The WMS Helping Hands Club is wrapping-up the school year with its favorite project: a supply drive for the Animal Welfare League of Arlington! From now through Friday, students and staff are encouraged to donate dog toys, pet food, leashes, or anything else on the “wishlist” posted around school. The collection bin will be located in the main lobby. Thanks for supporting the Animal Welfare League, and for helping their pets in need!!
