WMS Weekly Warrior
November 13, 2023
Good Afternoon Woodbury Middle School,
We hope you enjoyed the extended weekend and took the time to recognize a veteran you may know. Our students spent time in family writing notes and honoring veterans they may have personal connections with.
On Thursday, WMS held its first mini-activity, in which students had to earn participation through Live School points and our school-wide behavior expectations. We are excited to report that 85% of all students earned the grade-level activity. Points are earned based on our Warrior Way and scored against our behavior matrix. A possible 60 points can be earned each day, reinforcing the importance of being in school. Students will only earn points if the absence is excused. Parents, please notify the school when a student is out so the absence does not impact participation in our events.
We look forward to our next event scheduled for Nov. 22. Keep earning those points for another great activity.
Student NWEA diagnostic testing scores for Math, ELA, and Science were sent home last week. Please take a moment to read the scores, as they indicate how your student is doing compared to other students nationwide. Please remember this is only one indicator representing one snapshot in time. When looking at progress and growth, we use multiple indicators.
Our PIM is hosting a WMS Bookfair. The flyers below and the QR code will provide all the important information. Please save the date and help PIM by supporting the bookfair.
Parent conferences are scheduled for Dec. 11, 12th and 14th. A link will be sent to you in a separate cover with directions to sign up for conferences. Conference Registration will open at 8:00 a.m. on Dec. 4 and close on Dec. 7 at 3:00 p.m. Please note the end of the first Trimester is Dec. 1. Please check PowerSchool for any assignments that need to be completed.
Picture retakes are scheduled for Dec. 1 for anyone absent or who wants to retake a picture from the original date. Please remember to bring the original package delivered to you after the first picture day if you are retaking pictures.
The WMS Leo Club is hosting a food drive in Family classrooms the week of Nov. 13. The winning Family that collects the most nonperishable food items will earn a prize from the Leo Club.
Have a great week,
