Wedgwood Weekly: The Parent Edition
Transforming Norms to EXCEED Expectations.
What's the 411
Can you believe that we are in the 5th six weeks already? Neither can I! This time is flying by and we are approaching the season that everyone loves so much...TESTING SEASON!!! I was looking at the calendar and I cannot believe that in just two short weeks we will be on spring break and there are only 26 instruction days until our first STAAR test!
Tutorials will continue this week. Please remember to send students to their respective tutoring classes throughout the week.
Tutoring days:
*Monday - Math (Carpenter)
*Tuesday - ELA (Dunn)
*Wednesday - Science (C. Smith)
*Thursday - Social Studies (Ramos)
Key Reminders:
- DO NOT release students until you hear the bell!
- No passes during any class unless it is an emergency.
- Please help clear your hallways during each passing period (even during your planning).
- Walk your students to lunch in an organized fashion.
- No cell phone for students during school hours.
- Lesson plans are due in Google Classroom every Friday.
- Post your current lesson plans outside your door every Monday morning.
WMS Teacher of the Year 2019-2020
Ms. Melissa Parish - 8th grade Social Studies Teacher
Ms. Parish is a native of Fort Worth, TX. She graduated from Prairie View A&M University in 2007 with a Bachelors in Business Marketing. After relocating back to the DFW area, she found herself looking for work and began substituting occasionally. Through this experience she discovered a love and passion for teaching. What started out as an experient, turned into 7 years of teaching, with 5 of them at Wedgwood MS.
"Being at Wedgwood I have learned so much about our students, but much more about myself. I am looking forward to the future." -Melissa Parish
Wedgwood Hour
This week the focus will be on Math in the Elective advisory time. Teachers, please make sure you are monitoring to ensure that students are working on math subject matter in your Wedgwood Hour this week. In an effort to get students into your classrooms earlier, we are now releasing our 8th grade students from the auditorium at 9am and 7th graders at 9:05am. Please make sure you are at your doors, ready to receive students at that time.

Remember, if students need to report a missing chromebook, need a repair, or are new to campus and need a chromebook issued, please use the forms below. Do NOT send students to my office regarding chromebooks for any reason. I will return them to your classroom. Please follow the procedure and have them fill out the google forms.
You may post these forms in your google classroom if necessary. Also, if needed, you can fill out the form for your students. I will work on Chromebooks on Mondays and Fridays. So encourage students to get them in quickly.
