WMS Family Update
May 7, 2021
Good morning Wamsutta Families,
First, I am happy to report there were no positive pools from our testing this week. Moving forward, I will wait until Friday if there are no positive pools (the no news is good news principle) and will report positive pools as soon as the results come in. We may have to alter our pool testing days for MCAS, but the above process will remain the same for the rest of the year.
In other news, all the T3 progress reports are posted. For Music and STEM these will become final grades at the end of the year, for everything else it's a midterm update. You may view them under the "Published Reports" section in your parent/guardian Aspen homepage. I also have notices from AHS Athletics for 8th graders, Summer Programs from APS, a Be Heard meeting next week, the modified version of Special Olympics we are doing this year, and a second notice about MCAS dates.
Lastly, we'll pick some nice weather days next week to do our ice cream celebration with 7th and 8th grades. We are again in debt to Bliss Bros. and our PTO for their support to try to bring a bit of fun into the school in a difficult year.
Thank you as always for your time.
Joseph Connor, WMS

Invitation to Virtual Meeting: Be Heard Next Week
Special Olympics at WMS
On Friday, May 21st, we will host our own version of the annual Attleboro Area Special Olympics. Due to Covid restrictions the games will take place at each of the individual schools this year. The students will participate in 5 fun, Olympic challenges. After all the students have completed their challenges a lunch will be held for the athletes and medals will be awarded at that time. We will make sure our students are cheered on by their peers and staff.
