9/21/18 - Williamsburg

We begin today with WOLF PACK PRIDE! Last night was Back to School Night at WMS — and it was a HUGE success.
.
More than a THOUSAND parents visited the school, all of whom were treated to incredible presentations by your classroom teachers.
.
Special thanks goes out to all of those teachers who worked so hard on making your parents feel welcome; to our student volunteers — the tour guides, Yearbook staff, and WOLF-TV reporters — for their important contributions; to our admin, counselors, office staff, and librarians for their support; and of course, to our custodial staff for making our school shine.
.
Great job, everyone, and GO WOLVES!! [clap]
.
There will be a “make-up day” for the 2018 Naviance Needs Assessment Survey — TODAY during WOLF TIME in the auditorium. Any student who was absent when your TA took the survey — or if you had technology problems and couldn’t log in — are required to attend. Just be sure to bring you iPad! See Mr. Caldwell or your grade-level counselor with any questions.

Hey, Williamsburg! Are you tired of hearing: “There are no intramurals for today!”? Well it ends NOW! Intramurals at WMS begin next MONDAY during ASP 2.

See Mrs. Stankus or Ms. Richards. Let’s play!
