Ms. Aman's January 3 Message
Posted by Kelly Aman on 1/2/2021 6:00:00 PM
I hope our Wildcat families enjoyed a peaceful and healthy winter break! As I reflect on this school year, I am grateful to our families who have partnered with us during this very unusual school year. You are indispensable and I appreciate all that you do to make learning from home possible for our students/your children. I am very proud of our students who have embraced challenges that a year ago didn't exist. Our students are resilient and remarkable! I am also proud of the faculty and staff at West Millbrook who lead learning both in-person and remotely! I admire their creativifty and commitment to their students. I am grateful to be part of the West Millbrook Magnet Middle School community and I am proud to be the Head of School for our IBMYP. Happy New Year, and may it be a year of prosperity, health and happiness for all of us.
Welcome back Wildcats! School resumes (remotely) on Monday, January 4 at 8:15am.
Monday is a B Day.
All students will be learning from home this week (January 4 – 8) and next week (January 11 – 15).
- Students will engage in live instruction via GoogleMeet on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Students will follow their regular class schedule/bell schedule on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
- Both Wednesdays are asynchronous learning days. New material will be presented on these days. Attendance and assignments will be available at 8:15am on Wednesdays so that students do not have to sign back in throughout the day. Additionally, teachers may host small group Google Meets on Wednesdays.
Interim reports were sent home with all Plan B students prior to winter break. Virtual Academy families should access PowerSchool to review academic progress. All students and families may access current grades via PowerSchool. Please review your child’s academic progress and contact your child’s teachers if you have questions. Second quarter ends on January 15 so it is important for students to submit any missing assignments and to ensure the finish 1st semester strongly.
Bus Attestation: The WCPSS Transportation department is planning for second semester transportation requests. It is imperative that every student who may need to ride the bus second semester submit an Attestation Form. If a form is not submitted, the student will not be assigned a bus route for second semester. Submissions can be done online, or your student will bring a form home. If you are unsure submit another form or if you have questions email Bridget Rogers, brogers@wcpss.net.
Assignment Strips: Parents/legal guardians with a PowerSchool account will access their 2021-22 School Assignment via parent portal. Your student will not receive a hard copy of the assignment strip. Families will be able to sign into their PowerSchool account and access this information on the left hand side by clicking Next Year Assignment.
If you have any questions about school assignment for the 2021-22 school year, please contact Kara Garwolds at kgarwolds@wcpss.net or Mary Horton at mhorton@wcpss.net or your child’s counselor.
2nd Semester Schedules: We know that students and families are anxious about what second semester will look like at West Millbrook Magnet Middle School. We continue to work on schedules for students who are moving from Plan B to Virtual Academy or from Virtual Academy to Plan B for 2nd semester. Our goal is to provide as much consistency for students as possible. However, the change from Virtual Academy to Plan B or from Plan B to Virtual Academy will require a schedule change and/or a teacher change in some instances. Classroom capacity, class size, balanced cohorts and staffing are all considerations as we work through the scheduling process for 2nd semester. We are preparing for almost 200 additional students to begin in person learning and we will ensure safety protocols are followed. Thank you for patience.
