We have started planning the transition of our 8th grade students to high school. Here are some important dates:

February 6th

Students will watch a course card presentation thru their ELA classes. It is extremely important that all 8th grade students are in attendance this day to get vital information regarding picking their courses for next school year.

February 7th

An administrator and counselor from WCHS will be coming over to our school to meet with any students who have questions regarding their course cards.

February 9th

Course cards for WCHS are due to our 8th grade counselor, Ms. Foti.

This afternoon 8th grade students were given the 8th Grade EOY packet with information regarding all activities and events. It is important that all families read thru the packet as it contains eligibility criteria along with important dates and forms that must be completed and returned to school.

The window to pay the deposit for the 8th Grade Gradventure field trip at Universal will open on the afternoon of Friday, January 26th. Please note that due to limited charter bus availability at this time, we are limiting ticket sales for this field trip. Once we reach our limit of tickets that we can sell, information regarding a wait list will be communicated with families. We will continue to work on obtaining additional charter busses so that we are able to provide this opportunity to all of our 8th graders who meet eligibility.

Attached is a copy of the packet… page 5 details important dates pertaining to all of our 8th grade students. If you have any questions or concerns, see page 4 for contact information.

Our staff of the week Roar-Outs are how we recognize our staff for exemplifying our ROAR mission - Respectful, Open-minded, Achievers, Rising Together. We submit Roar-Outs internally as a staff, but like to extend the opportunity to our families and students. Whenever you would like to recognize a staff member for going above and beyond, just click the button below and submit a Roar-Out.

We have an internal recognition system that is put out to our staff each week for Student of the Week Roar-Outs! When your child is recognized, we will announce their name on the intercom on Monday morning and take their picture in the courtyard! All submissions from the week prior will be published in the Wildcat Weekly (staff & student) each Friday.

Opportunity Hall is on Wednesdays from 3:00-4:30 in the Media Center. If you have already sent in your permission slip, there is no other action required for your student to attend Opportunity Hall.

Opportunity Hall offers student support in organization and study skills, assistance with school work students may be struggling with, time to complete missing/make-up assignments, or just a quiet place to study. Opportunity Hall will run on Wednesday from 10/25/23 through 5/7/23. During Opportunity Hall, we will have teacher volunteers and some student peer tutors to provide as much individualized assistance as possible. If you and your child are interested in this support, please fill out the attached student agreement and permission form and return it to Mrs. Ware as soon as possible.
