Tomorrow is the LAST day to turn in permission forms for the March 18th PBIS Reward trip. We still have several students missing forms. Students must turn in their permission form and their $3.00/cleaning supply donation first thing in the morning near the main office.
Permission forms for the March 18th WCMS PBIS Rewards Trips went home today with students. Forms are due back by March 12th! 7th/8th graders will choose from bowling or roller skating and 5th/6th graders will be roller skating.
COST: To help those in the southern part of our state affected by recent flooding, we are collecting cleaning supplies. To participate in the trip, students are asked to donate ONE cleaning item or contribute $3 to be donated to the Wirt Volunteer Fire Department to purchase cleaning supplies. We will be attaching positive, encouraging messages to the supplies before they are sent to those in need.
The 5th grade popcorn and cotton candy orders will be at school on Monday! Just a reminder students need to pick up their orders and deliver them.
Our students spent January and February reviewing our school wide expectations during their advisory classes. Students then worked collaboratively to create images and videos showcasing positive behaviors and expectations. A winner from each grade was chosen and we want to share those with parents! We encourage parents to ask your child about the WCMS ROCKS expectations and what it means to them while giving your child a chance to earn LiveSchool points!
This weeks featured winner is Mrs. Romage's 5th grade class.
🌟If you comment on this post with your child's first name and last initial and one HALLWAY expectation you and your child discussed, your student will earn 5 LiveSchool points for parent involvement!
