Important Information about EOG/EOC Testing:

  • Students are expected to bring their charged, Wake County Chromebooks on testing days. All testing will be online and personal computers are not permitted.
  • We are not permitted to interrupt the testing setting and are not able to check students out until school-wide testing ends at approximately 12:30 each day. This includes all students on campus, even if they are not testing that day.
  • As you are planning appointments for your child in the coming weeks, you will want to consult the testing schedule. 
  • Fitbits, Apple Watches, airpods and smart watches and other smart devices are not permitted in the testing room.  Have students keep these items at home during testing.
  • Cell phones must be turned off and put away for the entirety of the testing session.   

 

NC Check Ins for math 8 will be given on Tuesday and Wednesday. 

 

Students taking Spanish 1/French 1/Spanish 2 for high school credit: Exit exams for these courses are in progress.  The exit exam score will affect the final grade in PowerSchool. Your child's Final grade (F1) is calculated by taking the grades of Semester 1 (40%) + Semester 2 (40%) + Exit Exam (E1 20%). You must have a passing F1 grade to earn high school credit. Mrs. Prijatel, Mr. Bruce, and Mrs. Ces will communicate directly with details.

 

Time is running out to order your yearbook! Only 30 are left and when they're gone, they're gone! Order at JostensYearbooks.com. Contact Mrs. Youth if you have questions: cyouth@wcpss.net

Wildcat Booster News:  We need to fill the WMMS Athletic Booster Board for next year. We are looking for a President, Secretary, and Treasurer, along with concessions, fundraising, and sponsorship leads. If you are interested in supporting the WMMMS Athletic community we want you! We are now using this form to collect contact info from anyone (future 6th, 7th or 8th grade families) that wishes to be on our list to hear about opportunities to be decision makers and board members, help out, or join meetings/events! We would love anyone who would like to support our athletic program. If you are a parent, your child does not have to be on a team, just enjoy athletics.
