Eagles' Nest
Family edition - April 2020
Principal's Message
WMS Families,
I hope this finds you well during this unprecedented time in education. While you adjust, please know that your family's health is top priority. The WMS staff will be happy to help you in any way they can. Simply reach out to them via email or Google Classroom if you have any questions. Also, please remember that if you do not have access to a device, you may pick up a hard copy located in the vestibule, M-F from 8-3 (the first set of doors will be unlocked during that time).
Virtual office hours are posted on our website, but I have also included them here.
I encourage you to stay connected with family and friends virtually to help maintain your spirits. Additionally, keep an eye out on our social media (Instagram and Facebook) for opportunities to interact as well!
Finally, the MSD curriculum team is working on the longer-term plan for remote learning. Please look for details later on this week.
Be well and stay safe. We miss you all and can't wait to see you again!

Tips for Parents
Some teachers have complied some tips that you may find useful as we navigate our new schedule over the coming weeks:
-Email your teacher if something is confusing or isn't working properly. This is new to us too and we don't know there's an issue unless someone tells us.
-For math - Khan Academy has short videos for nearly every math topic. If you're struggling to remember how to do something, type the concept into Khan Academy and watch the short video. This would be helpful for both parents and students.
-5 Minute Meditation You Can Do Anywhere
-A daily routine can help students stay on task. Maybe a checklist works best for your family, maybe an open-ended expectation to "finish before lunch." Find what works best for you and hold to it the best you can.
