Our seventh graders are hard at work mastering the concepts of computing and analyzing measures of central tendency, whether independently or in collaboration with their teacher! Their dedication and focus are truly inspiring!
Principal Choice met with eighth grader Caylee to discuss her goals for the second semester, and she did an amazing job explaining how she plans to "shoot her shot" for success. Weekly progress reports are sent home to keep students and families informed, and conferences like these highlight our commitment to student growth. At WCMS, student conferences are a vital part of teaching, learning, and achieving goals together!
Happy 100th day of school to our students, staff, and families! We’re so grateful for everything we've accomplished so far and can’t wait to see what the rest of the year brings! #100thDay #Grateful #OnwardAndUpward
