Today we want to pay tribute to our custodial staff who work tirelessly to clean and maintain our building. We want to show these fellow Wahawks that all they do is recognized and appreciated. If you see a custodian today, say thanks, or if you want, write them a note thanking them for making our school such a nice place in which to learn! You can drop the notes off with Mrs. Schumacher in the LRC and she will get them to the custodial staff!
Don't forget that MAP testing is happening this week! Wednesday, Oct 7 - Hybrid A will take the
Reading test and on Thursday, Oct 8 - Hybrid B students will take the Reading
test.
Fully online students can sign up to take the MAP reading and math
tests on Monday, October 5th at 4PM or Tuesday, October 6th
at 8AM. Contact Lorilee Hamel at lhamel@dbqschools.org
to sign up.
Make an effort to get a good night's sleep before testing. Try to
a get a minimum of 8 hours, but shoot for 9-10.
Set your alarm for a little earlier so you are not rushed in the morning
and have plenty of time to eat a good breakfast.
It is very important that you bring your laptops fully charged to
school each day but especially important on MAP testing days. Please make sure
you plug your laptop in before you go to bed so it's fully charged for testing.
Students, please remember to treat your laptop with care. When
transporting it to and from school in your bookbag or laptop case, please power
off the device. If you have younger brothers or sisters or pets at home, make
sure you set your laptop out of reach when you aren't using it. And please be
careful not to eat or drink over the laptop. You can prevent accidents by keep
all food and drink socially distanced from your laptop.
LEAP homework help starts Monday October 5th. Every Monday through
Friday from 2:35-4:00pm. Students should
meet in the south cafeteria immediately after school to sign in and get a quick
snack provided by LEAP. This year Mrs. Rothert will work with 6th graders
and Mr. Murphy with 7th and 8th graders.
Space is limited to 9 students per classroom.
We've extended the sign-up for VPA so if that interests you, head
to the Wash website and click the link that says click here to sign up. It's on the homepage under reminders. Also, if you are inerested in helping out
with tech crew for VPA, those sign-ups will happen later in the year! Keep watching WTV for announcement regarding
crew opportunities!
We missed a few birthdays over the long weekend and we wanted to
say happy belated birthday to Saanvi Ram, Seattle Bontemps, Isaac Gooch, Walker
Newt, and Treyton Orange who celebrated already and to Payton Atchison and
Laura Feller on Monday and to Tanner Bush on Tuesday! We are glad you were
born!
And now for the thought of the day: Opportunity is missed by most
people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
Thank your custodians today!
