WMS Weekly Warrior
Week of 4-19-21
Good Afternoon Woodbury Middle School,
We hope you enjoyed the week off from school. April break has always been a way to recharge for the busy end of the year. On Thursday of this week, students will be participating in a school-wide Interim Assessment Block or (IAB). IAB’s are assessments teachers can use throughout the school year to assess smaller content bundles and align with the Smarter Balance Assessment. Please remind students that they will need earbuds and a charged Chromebook for this listening IAB. Please look for more details on Wednesday, including a modified schedule for students and instructions for our remote learners.
The Smarter Balance Assessment testing dates have been set for students at WMS. All students will participate starting May 11th, 18th, and 20th, and our eighth-grade students will take the science assessment (NGSS) on May 25th. For information on SBAC, please click here.
Spring sports games will start this week. Mr. Mcgrath has outlined protocols for fans and spectators. Please review these if you are planning on attending games at WMS. We ask that all safety measures be adhered to when enjoying our athletic events. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in keeping everyone safe.
A huge thank you to the Woodbury/Bethlehem Advocates for Substance Abuse Prevention (ASAP) for providing masks to all of our WMS staff and students. The masks are being distributed today.
Congratulations to Kailey Townsend, one of our 6th-grade students, on winning a Silver Award in the UCONN Connecticut Writing Project for 6th-grade poetry. Her poem is called Follow Your Dreams, and she is invited to the 2021 Student Writers Recognition Night (virtual this year).
The Connecticut Writing Project receives entries from over 1,500 students across Connecticut annually. Students submit poetry, essays, stories, and drama, and submissions are chosen to be published or honored from each grade level. Congratulations Kailey, we are so proud of you!
Have a great week!
Bill Nemec, Principal
