Dear WSMS Parents and Guardians,
We are halfway through our first quarter of school. We are moving to a digital progress report each grading period. We have found in the past that most of our paper based progress reports don't make it to their final destination which is you. I will send out a reminder each quarter when our progress reporting date is. For the first quarter, that date is this Friday, September 18. Grades can be viewed in PowerSchool.
Speaking of PowerSchool, the window for changing your child's learning environment opened yesterday. You can go into PowerSchool and change your child's learning environment between now and September 28. This will be found in the menu on the left hand side of the page and it is entitled "2020-21 Learning Environment". If you do not wish to change the learning environment, you do not need to fill this out. You will automatically default back to your 1st quarter choice.
Have a great week!
Respectfully,
Kevin

NEW! No Pass - No Play: Six Week Progress Report Grades
Friday, September 25th, will be the last day for six week progress reports. Although we are on a nine week grading system, UIL requires all schools to check eligibility after the first six weeks and again at the end of the first grading period if it exceeds six weeks. Based on our district academic calendar, we will have two eight week grading periods in the fall. Our first grading period will end on Thursday, October 8th. For a copy of the UIL eligibility calendar, please click here.
