We love to see your faces - we really miss you! So go find a wall, dress in Green, and play with the screen!
The Zoom meetings / Community meetings have been going well, but Ms. Martin wanted to emphasize that school appropriate behavior is STILL the expectation at all times and that student safety is at the forefront of our minds. Please remember to sign in to Zoom using your first and last name. If you do not, you might not be admitted to the class and will receive no credit for the class. If there is a security issue with using their first and last names, please contact the teacher, Mr. Cloherty, Mr. Del Porto, or Ms. Martin. We want to keep all students safe and ensure that only WMS students are present during Zoom meetings.
Also - Progress reports are coming out soon, so please be sure to complete and submitted all of your work! We can't give you credit for it if you don't submit it!

After logging in, click on the "Class Registration" option in the lefthand "Navigation" bar to view your current requests. These need to be accessed through a web browser (Chrome, Safari, etc.), not the PowerSchool mobile app.
By April 29, please complete the Elective Selection Google Form (sent to you via email). We'll be inputting these requests in early May. We will inform you when those requests have been updated and you are able to view all your course requests for the 2020-21 school year in PowerSchool.
Your complete list of requests will be reviewed by your guidance counselor to ensure you are on track with your graduation requirements and credits. If you have questions about current course recommendations, please begin by speaking with your current teachers.

WMS Virtual Library
The WMS Virtual Library Has Been Updated!
- Need help finding a book? Have a tech question? Just want to chat? Come hang out with Ms. Maroni-Wagner during Virtual Library Drop-In Hours! Every Tuesday & Thursday, 12:30-1:30 pm.
- Zoom Link: http://bit.ly/wmslibdropin
- Password: yaybooks
- Want to start a book club, or read a book with your friends? In the Other eBooks & Audiobooks section are several websites that have eBooks/audiobook titles, do not require an account, and allow simultaneous checkouts (everyone could read the same book, at the same time)!
- An alternative to reading an eBook or audiobook is listening to a podcast! Go to the Really Cool Podcasts section for podcasts recommended for middle schoolers. Each podcast episode is between roughly 10 and 18 minutes long.
As always, if you are having trouble finding a book or have a tech question, feel free to reach out to Ms. Maroni-Wagner at leah.maroniwagner@watertown.k12.ma.us.
SEL is how children and adults learn to understand and manage emotions, set goals, show empathy for others, establish positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.
