- 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.
. - Have you read any “great books” lately? The WMS Library is OPEN for business! Students have several options for finding a book. You can browse the online catalogue through the WMS website. Your TA teacher can schedule a TA time to bring the entire class. Students can come to the library on their own before TA starts — from 7:30 to 7:40. And you can also get a LIBRARY PASS from the cafeteria when you’re finished eating lunch. And starting NEXT WEEK — the library will be open after school from 2:30 to 3. See our school Librarians — Ms. Tan or Ms. Scott — with any questions.
. - Put your creative genius to the test! The annual PTA Reflections Contest is now accepting submissions from all grade-level students. This year’s theme is: “I will change the world by…” Projects can include Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, or Visual Arts. Submission forms can be found in the WMS Library, and projects must be received by October 26th. Unleash your inner artist and submit to the PTA Reflections Contest today!!
. - And now — an important announcement for all students in all grades! The APS “Fall Growth Assessments” continue TODAY and TOMORROW. Everyone will be taking your MATH test during your regularly scheduled A or B-Day math classes — with the exception of Algebra 1 and Geometry students, who do NOT have to take the test.
.
Please try to get to your math classes as quickly as possible today so that testing can begin. And don’t forget your iPad! Good luck, wolves!!
. - And finally, Williamsburg continues its celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month — recognizing the many contributions that this proud and diverse culture has made to our country.
.
Today, we’ve got a question for you: do you know the difference between “Hispanic” and “Latina?” Well, you’re about to find out! Happy Hispanic Heritage Month, amigos!
