Monday, October 5 & Tuesday, October 6, 2020

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!
