MLK Day Assembly and other important items:

Hello everyone,


The 8th graders had a terrific learning experience today while participating in the MLK Assembly and our related workshops.  Below you will find an image of a "wordle" that highlights the important words and phrases that students reflected on throughout the day.  Please ask your child about today's workshops.





2. Yearbook Ordering: Yearbooks are now available for purchase through February 1st. Yearbooks can be purchased one of two ways: 1. Return with your child to the main office the hard copy of the order form with a check payable to Wayland Middle School for $18.00  2. Order online and pay by credit card at http://jostensyearbooks.com

3. Final DC Payment Date: For those of you paying the DC trips in installments to Worldstrides the final payment due date is Monday, February 11 ($266.00). Payments can be made by check through the mail or online at the Worldstrides website. You can also check your current balance by going to the Worldstrides website as well.

3. 2nd Quarter Report Cards: Report Cards for 2nd quarter will be coming home with your child on Friday February 1st. Please review your child's grades for 2nd quarter and return the signed sheet with your child to their homeroom teacher the week after.

4. School Supplies: This is traditionally the time of the school year where many of our 8th graders are in need of new basic school supplies. We have seen an increase in the number of students coming to class without pencils, pens, and erasers. Those students often miss the "warm ups" at the start of class as they are looking for something to write with and thus fall behind right at the start of class. Please check in with your child to see if they are in need of a new supply of pens, pencils, erasers and pencil pouches to keep in their binders. Thank you!

Have a great weekend!
