Short week!
I hope you all had a nice pre-Thanksgiving weekend! I'm sure there was some preparation for cooking/hosting on Thursday.
Thank you to everyone organizing for and putting together the Thanksgiving Baskets - such a caring WMS tradition! Much appreciated by all.
I heard Trivia Night was super fun! I'm glad WMS was well represented! Speaking of trivia, thank you to Captain Kirk for our Friday announcements trivia - hopefully someone will know the answer next time!
Have a terrific week! Happy Thanksgiving!

Important ESL Information
Also, one new highlight is that we should have the PHLOTE (Primary Home Language Other Than English) category in Power School to say if the family requires interpretation. They have dedicated much time to marking this field. If you find that the families marked do NOT require interpretation please let Kate or me know. In the same vein, if they haven't marked someone as needing interpretation, please also let Kate or me know.

Thank you!
No Backpacks to Period 7 please!
***They may also need a reminder by their lockers that they can't pack them up either. Taking the time to pack their bags will also make them late!***
