6th Grade Update: 2.27.22

6th Grade Families:

We hope you had a nice weekend and were able to enjoy some of the spring-like weather. We were busy wrapping up sports seasons and hurrying to spring season practices at our house.

As we are finally settling in to what will hopefully be a consistent schedule - with minimal interruptions - for students, this would be a great time to review at home routines with your child. We are finding more and more 6th graders have found their way to social media and it tends to interfere with sleep and social-emotional wellness. At school, we always remind students that smart sleep routines mean putting away our devices so we are free of distraction.

Parent-Teacher Conferences are coming up on March 10 from 4:00 - 7:30 p.m. This is a great time to check in with your child's team to see how they are doing. We aren't able to accommodate all parents during this time so please reach out to your child's team if you aren't able to secure a conference slot. Remember, you can always access your child's grades through Schoology.

And finally, as we prepare for next school, please consider how you can support the great work we are doing at WCMS. Our PTSO is seeking several volunteers to take on a PTSO role for the upcoming year.

Please see below for additional announcements!

Have a great week!
