Good afternoon WFMS families,
Staff of the Week
Congratulations to Ms. Riley Jamieson for leading the Drama Club in successful presentations of Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Middle School. The students participating were prepared and put on an amazing performance in each of their shows. Congratulations to each of our actors, actresses, and others behind the scenes for their hard work. A special thank you to Ms. Jamieson for her time and efforts to work with the students.
Preparing for the EOG at Home
Reading the Question is Key
Many students miss questions because they rush. Encourage your child to slow down and really read what each question is asking.
🎯 Practice Here: NCTest Practice Resources
Test Tip of the Week:
👀 Read all directions and questions carefully. Slowing down at the start can save time and boost accuracy.
Parent Panorama Survey Response Rate
We had around a 50% participation rate with over 400 responses for our Parent Survey. Thank you to those who took the time to share your thoughts on this survey and give us feedback to consider as we work for continual school improvement.
WCPSS Student Survey
WFMS will administer the annual WCPSS Student Survey next week on Thursday May 1st during Drive Time with their core 1 teacher. More information about this survey may be found HERE. If you wish to opt your child out of the survey, please contact Katherine Hailey (khailey@wcpss.net) by Tuesday, April 30 at 3pm.

NEXT WEEK! Donation Drive at The Giving Tree:
During the week of Monday, April 28th through Saturday, May 3rd, we are proud to be partnering with The Giving Tree to hold a Donation Drive to earn money for our school. Last year, we earned $1600 by participating with The Giving Tree! Participation is simple--all you need to do is grab a paper bag or box and fill it with like-new home goods that you no longer use. Drop off your donations during the week of April 28th at The Giving Tree at 839 South Main Street in Wake Forest. They accept donations Monday-Saturday from 10:30-4:30. Our school will get DOUBLE Donation Credit during the entire week of our donation drive! Here is a short list of items that The Giving Tree currently needs:
Summer home decor including decorative pillows and wreaths
Summer or neutral wall art
Wall mirrors
Lamps with shades
Small Furniture
Garden décor, pots, tools, etc.
The Giving Tree is a 501c3 non-profit, so when you make a donation, you will receive a tax receipt for your donation. This is a great way for you to clean out your house, give back to the community and earn money for our school! Click the link for all the details: Giving Tree Information
