Good evening Wang Fam!

Although the weather isn't cooperating, we have officially entered Spring and we are at the end of the month!

First of all, its Roller Kingdom Night on Monday! From 6-8, it will be FREE entry for any Wang students and families and skate rentals are just three dollars!! That's right - free! Monday night, 6-8 pm at Roller Kingdom in Tyngsboro!

Second, there is NO SCHOOL on Friday, March 29th due to it being Good Friday. Again, no school on Friday.

Next, we are just about a week away from our first MCAS exams with 6th and 7th grade taking the ELA MCAS on April 4th and 5th. It is crucial that your child is here every day as our students begin to get ready to show their stuff on the MCAS exam - attendance is vital! If you are having problems getting your child to school, please contact us during normal business hours.

Also, another reminder - you DO NOT need to speak to a person when calling your child out sick. When you call the school, please press number 2 when prompted and you can leave a message for our secretary, Ms. Omayra, and she can go ahead and mark your child absent after listening to the message.

We were SO excited to have so many families at STEM ghetti the other night! Please check out the Wang Eagle for photos from the event - we hope to make it bigger and better next year!

Finally, our next session of after school enrichment begins on Monday and we are adding something fun for the third session - Wang United! Our very own after school soccer program will be each Thursday. We also have many other great activities to choose from - you can view the options and the sign up form in the Wang Eagle!

We hope you all have a great weekend and we look forward to seeing your child Monday morning at 8 am!

This week's competition was:

Mrs. Doole vs. Ms. Giaimo

Mrs. McMahon vs. Mrs. Mosley

Ms. Shabanian vs. Mrs. Dean

Mrs. Mackenzie vs. Mr. Palmer

Our Final Four will be announced on Monday!!

March's attendance competition will be Homeroom vs. Homeroom in a March Madness Bracket! The homeroom with the highest attendance in each matchup each week moves on! Encourage your children to be here every day to compete!

The winning homeroom will be receiving a in-school movie field trip - we will be showing a movie currently in theaters here at the school just for them, along with movie snacks!

Parents, it's time to register for our next round of After School Enrichment programs!

We begin the next round on March 25th! See the link right below to sign your child up!

Our Knowledge Bowl team gave it their all Monday night, but fell short of the finals! We are so proud of all of our scholars and are looking for more students to join the team in 2024-25!

Wang Fam!

MCAS testing will begin the first week of April. This also includes the new Civics exam for 8th Grade students.

Below is a link to a counselor newsletter that will be created by Ms. Freker each month! She will begin sending out helpful tips, articles and other items to support your child at home outside of the classroom!

Our Volleyball season begins the first week of April!

School Site Council (SSC) and the Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) are two great ways to get involved and make your voice heard. Wang School is lucky to have such incredibly active and supportive SSC and PTO members and they have made a tremendously positive impact on our school community.

In the picture to the left are the dates for the SSC/PTO meetings this year. We would love to have everyone who is able come in, ask any questions you may have about what makes the Wang great and what we are working on improving, and how we can, as a Wang community, find a common ground for our students. We hope to see you at our meetings this year.

Our PTO School Store is looking for donations to Stock our Store! Each Tuesday, our students look forward to our PTO running the "School Store", a place where kids can buy fun snacks and cool trinkets like gibbets for their Crocs or fun pencils and pens! We are looking for any kind of donation through our Amazon Wish List below! Thank you thank you thank you!

Parents, please remind your child to check our Lost and Found shelves outside the Cafeteria each day if they misplaced an article of clothing! We are donating items to Goodwill each week if they are not claimed!

Wang FAM! Click on the link above to give us your feedback! This is completely anonymous and it can be anything that you would like to share about what is working at the Wang and how we can improve! Please help us make the Wang continue to be the BEST middle school in the city!!

Registration for 2024 spring baseball and softball is now open!!

The 2024 LYBSL board is now in place and season preparations are well underway. We believe we can make this season great, but we need your help. We are asking both players and coaches to register earlier than ever before. We anticipate having close to 100 teams across the league this spring and feel it’s important to dedicate the necessary time to secure coaches, evaluate players and build out teams as thoughtfully as possible. So, we ask that you register as soon as possible if you know you’re committed to playing or coaching this season.

The Lowell Special Education Parent Advisory Council invites you to participate in the monthly Sped Pac Meetings to discuss topics in Special Education and supports available to our families in Lowell. Please click on the link above to get more information about meeting dates!
