WMS Presents: Bad Auditions.....On Camera
Homework During Quarantining Students who have to quarantine or self quarantine will need to stay up to date on their work by logging onto their google classroom and checking their emails. All teachers have put their coursework and lessons onto Google Classroom for all students. If they are not able to do complete work, parents will need to contact their teachers. | Picture Pick-up If your student is an extended campus learner and have not picked up their school pictures, you may stop by the main office Monday-Friday from 7:30-4:30 to pick them up. | Winter Weather As many of you experienced last week, winter weather can make dropping off your student extremely stressful. Arbor street can be very difficult when when it is snowy or icy. We have contacted the city to get plows and sand trucks out there but that is not always happening. Here are few things that will help with our flow of traffic on winter weather days:

- Leave early and give yourself plenty of time!
- We are asking that no one takes a left hand turn out of the parking lot onto Arbor street. This will allow the cars coming up the hill to keep their momentum.

National Junior Honor Society
The National Junior Honor Society chapter of Westside Middle School is a duly chartered and affiliated chapter of this prestigious national organization. Membership is open to those students who meet the required standards in five areas of evaluation: scholarship, leadership, service, citizenship, and character. Students in the second semester of seventh or eighth grade are eligible for membership. If students were inducted as a seventh grader, they will NOT need to reapply.
Those students who meet the scholarship criterion of a 3.8 on the 4.0 scale are invited to complete a Student Activity Information Form that provides the Faculty Council with information regarding the candidate’s leadership and service. This will be sent out late January-early February. A history of leadership experiences and participation in school or community service is also required. Examples of leadership may happen within the school building (student council) or outside of the classroom (team captains, scouting honors, etc.). Service to the community is considered volunteering in a capacity that does not benefit the student (getting paid for a service or merely helping an extended family member) services considered would be volunteering at a non-profit organization (Film Streams, the zoo, Do Space, among many others). Service learning is not considered volunteering for a team activity to raise money for team expenses (car washes for a soccer team, selling concessions for a concert the student might participate in at a later time.) A student should have at least 5 hours of service learning when filling out the application.
Once again the Student Activity Information Form will be sent out in late January-early February.
