By the end of the week, you should have read for at least one hour, and submitted your weekly DEAR Check-In Google Form. Your form should be submitted by 5:00 pm every Sunday. Your homeroom teachers will be checking to make sure you have done so.

NEW! WMS LIBRARY CURBSIDE PICKUP EVERY TUESDAY
Do you want a book from the WMS Library? Request a book, and it pick it up outside of school on Tuesday afternoon!
To request a book, you must submit a book request form (bit.ly/wmslibreqform) by Monday at 5 pm. Make sure the books are available in the library catalog first- if you don’t know how to search the WMS Library catalog, watch this video. In this form you will also select a time slot to pick up your books on Tuesday afternoon, between 12:45-3:45pm.
By 9am Tuesday morning, Ms. Maroni-Wagner will send an email to confirm your books are ready, and what time to come pick up your books that day. Your books will be waiting for you in a disposable bag, outside the main doors of the school. Make sure to come at your selected time.
