Attendance at WMS is important
Arriving to school late: WMS Policy
At WMS, arriving to school on time is important! Being on time to class and ready to learn is one way we can help students be their best.
The school building opens to students beginning at 7:30 AM. Students should be in their first period class and ready for instruction at approximately 7:55 AM. The school day begins promptly at 8:00 AM.
Beginning November 6th, any students who are late to school 3 days will receive a message from an administrator. This message will be shared with parents/guardians. Any students who are late to school 5 days will receive an after school detention.
Our goal is to have ALL students in classes on time and learning!
Absences add up!
Did you know that any student who is absent from school ten days in a school year, regardless of the reason, is considered chronically absent by the State of Maryland? We understand that illnesses happens and want students at school when they are able to learn.
We encourage families to plan any vacations/trips during times when students are not expected to be in school. Should attendance become a concern, your child's school counselor or administrator will reach out to offer support. Please reach out if you have any questions about your child's attendance.
Any attendance notes can be sent to WMS.Attendance@fcps.org

What's happening in the classrooms?
A note from the Counseling Office
Counseling Office Attendance Message
School attendance and school success are closely related. Academic deficiencies occur when a student’s instructional program is interrupted by absences. Attending school on time each and every day, prepared and ready to learn, helps our students experience academic achievement and social fulfillment. There are occasions when an absence is unavoidable, so we encourage parents to notify the school at WMS.Attendance@fcps.org when this happens. It is also important that students communicate with teachers about absences and the school work that they’ve missed. When a student is absent from school, it is best practice that they check Schoology when they are out.
Behavioral Support - Organizational Tips
It is important to know how to organize schoolwork in order to gain as much as possible for a student’s education. Learning organizational tips can assist with preventing schoolwork from becoming overwhelming. Establishing good habits now will help as students move ahead in high school and beyond. Listed below are some organizational tips to help students of all ages.
1. Get Into a Routine – Create a consistent daily routine for when and where you will be completing your schoolwork, which can help you focus your time and stay on task.
2. Write Everything Down – Make a list of work you need to complete (homework, test dates, project deadlines). By doing this you have a way to double-check the work you need to do in case you forget something.
3. Set Your Own Deadline – Create an earlier deadline for yourself to complete assignments. This can help reduce stress so you are not completing assignments at the last minute.
4. Don't Multitask – Sometimes it seems helpful to do multiple things at once, but it usually leads to spending more time completing tasks. Working on one assignment at a time and finishing it can lead to spending less time overall on assignments.
5. Use Tools to Stay Organized – Use an array of school supplies to help you find what you need (e.g., planner, folder, pencil pouch, notebook).
6. Use a Planner - Using a physical or digital planner is an extremely helpful tool that can be utilized to organize school work. A planner allows you to see everything you need to accomplish and helps you to remember your deadlines.
7. Break Down Big Tasks Into Smaller Ones - It can be overwhelming to focus on everything that you need to complete at once for an assignment. Instead, break down your assignments into easily manageable parts that you can complete so you do not feel rushed to finish everything at one time.
6th Grade
English Language Arts
Mrs. Eddy- Students will analyze how situational impact reveals the central idea. Students will read about Navajo code talkers and analyze a video of the same topic.

Math
Mrs. Stevens- Students will continue Module 3: Compute with Multi-Digit Numbers and Fractions. In this module, students will develop fluency with whole-number division and decimal operations, and develop understanding of division of fractions. By building fluency with computation, they will be better prepared to study more advanced mathematical concepts in later courses, without being weighed down by the lack of these skills. Mrs. Zacharda - 6th Grade Students will complete Module 3 Compute with Multi-Digit Numbers and Fractions. Throughout the module sixth graders will build fluency with whole-number division and decimal operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division). They will build fluency with dividing multi-digit whole numbers, including annexing zeros. Students will build fluency with adding, subtracting, multiplyling, and dividing multi-digit decimals. In addition, sixth graders will develop understanding of division of fractions. Students will understand what division of a whole number by a non-unit fraction means, and use models and equations to represent the division and find the quotient. Students will build upon this understanding to use models and equations to divide fractions by fractions, including mixed numbers. Please encourage your child to improve their fact fluency for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. 7th Grade Early in December, students will wrap up Module 3: Operations with Integers. Students will continue to build fluency by multiplying two integers with different signs, multiplying two integers with the same signs, and multiplying groups of 3 or more integers. Students will draw on their knowledge of the division of whole numbers to develop understanding of division of integers. They will build fluency by dividing two integers with different signs and dividing two integers with the same signs. Students will apply their knowledge of operations with integers and the order of operations to develop fluency in applying the order of operations to integers. Later in the month, students will begin Module 4: Operations with Rational Numbers, students will use their prior knowledge of rational numbers (fractions, decimals and integers) to understand repeating and terminating decimals and to build fluency in calculating with fractions, mixed numbers and decimals, especially as they occur in combination. Students will convert fractions to decimals using long division. Students will understand when to use fractions, instead of decimals, in mathematical operations. Students will add, subtract, multiply and divide rational numbers in different forms. They will compute mixed numbers by rewriting them as improper fractions. Students will combine fractions and decimals, either by converting fractions to decimals, or by converting decimals to fractions.

Special Education Supports
This month’s topic highlights a tutoring service called Tutor Me that is provided by Frederick County Public Schools to support families with their child’s work at home.
Families of students with an IEP (Individualized Education Plan) who receive special education services get frequent feedback from their child’s school staff regarding their progress on their IEP goals. This comes in the form of progress monitoring reports, updates at their annual IEP meetings and conferences recently held last month. Often families inquire about how they can help at home to support their child’s growth and progress.
TutorMe is a service provided by FCPS free of charge to families. It is a virtual tutoring opportunity with 24/7 access for help on any subject. This service includes a live tutoring service and the TutorMe Writing Lab where students can submit writing assignments for feedback at a later time. All students can access TutorMe from their Clever portal on their Chromebooks. Many students have explored this service in their ELA classes earlier this Fall. It is easy to navigate and the response is quick and helpful.
Instructions for how to access the TutorMe service: Directions Spanish Directions English

Health Room
The flu is a highly contagious viral infection of the respiratory tract. Although the flu affects everyone, children tend to get it more often than adults. The season for the flu is usually from November to April with most cases occurring between late December and early March.
The flu is often confused with the common cold, but flu symptoms tend to develop quickly (usually 1 to 4 days after a person is exposed to the flu virus) and are usually more severe than the typical sneezing and stuffiness of a cold.
If your child has been ill, he/she should be free of a temperature of 100oF or more for 24 hours before returning to school without the use of fever reducing medication.FCPS Student Code of Conduct
Did you know that a portion of the FCPS Student Code of Conduct is for parents and guardians? Here is the link for the document in ENGLISH or SPANISH. On page 17, there are important topics to discuss with your child. Some that are included are regarding attendance, bullying, harassment or intimidation, bus conduct, cell phones, laptops, tablets, earbuds and other electronic devices.
WMS is an OFF AND AWAY school with regard to cell phones. They are not to be used between the hours of 8:00 and 3:00. If a student needs to access their device during that time, they need to come to the office to do so.
There is NO use for headphones or earbuds connected to phones during the school day. Our focus needs to be on providing the best learning environment possible and to eliminate distractions.
At WMS, we provide ONE warning to put the device away. Following that warning, if a device or earbuds/headphones are seen, they will be confiscated and brought to the office. Parents/guardians will be contacted and need to collect the device(s) from the school. Should this distraction continue, the devices will need to be checked in at the office daily and will be provided back to the student at the end of the day.
If a student accesses our Alternate Learning Classroom, any phones will be confiscated by an administrator and locked in the front office until the end of the day.
Thank you for your support in eliminating any distractions from our learning time at WMS!
Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact:
Mrs. Miller, principal
Mrs. Sutherin, 6th grade assistant principal
Mrs. Newkirk, 7th grade assistant principal
