34th Annual TEWMS Talen Show - We Had a Groovy Time!

Tuesday, March 11, featured 11 very talented acts in the 70’s themed school talent show which helped culminate our One School-One Book Initiative. Singing, dancing, playing instruments, and acting filled the stage at the Center for the Performing Arts at Wesley Chapel High School. Weightman Middle School is home to some very talented students. A panel of 11 faculty members judged each act according to audience appeal, appearance, preparation, and of course, talent. A creative and hardworking committee of nine sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students worked for months to plan, organize, and run the show. All proceeds from the hit show benefit the creative problem-solving activities of our Center for Gifted Studies.

Spring Glow Party

Our last school dance of the school year for all grade levels will be on Thursday, April 24th immediately after school. Students will get glow sticks and will also be able to purchase cool glow accessories! We will have a live DJ and snacks/beverages for sale. Tickets will be on sale staring Monday, March 24th thru Rycor for $12. Students with disciplinary referrals from March 24th to April 24th will not be eligible to attend the dance and refunds will not be issued. Lastly, as a reminder, only TEWMS students are allowed to attend our dances.

Spring Testing Schedule

The month of May is our spring testing season. Attached is the schedule of when we will administer our state assessments and district finals. We wanted to send this schedule out to families early so that family vacations can be planned accordingly. It is very important that students are at school daily, especially on testing days as these assessments are critical in student placement of classes for next year and some assessments are also calculated in the student’s final grade. More information regarding these assessments will be provided in the upcoming weeks. If you have any questions, you may contact our Administrator who oversees testing, Ms. Santos-Mira at amira@pasco.k12.fl.us

Wildcat Bucks (PBIS)

Wildcat Bucks (PBIS) continues to be rewarded to our students for following our ROAR expectations. The Kat Shack is open before school and students have been purchasing items or entry into our Hangout Room. This room has various interactive games that students can play with their friends during lunches. We are excited to announce that students can now order items online for students who are not able to visit the Kat Shack in the mornings. Attached is the menu of items they can purchase, to include an entry ticket to the Hangout Room. We will be updating our merchandise periodically.

Lastly, we would love to partner with any community members or businesses to support our Kat Shack. We are also in need of one school approved volunteer to help us fulfill online orders each Thursday. Please email Ms. Andressa Santos-Mira at amira@pasco.k12.fl.us if you would more information as to how you can support this student incentive program.

Theme Thursday

Some of our students asked if they could be a part of our Theme Thursday Shirt Day that teachers participate in here at TEWMS. This is not a dress up day but a day to wear a t-shirt that goes with a theme. Below is the Theme Thursday's shirt for March, if your student would like to join in. This is not required, it's just for fun!
