Virtual learners will be allowed to return to school for in-person instruction by the end of the 1^st 9 weeks rather than the end of the 1^st semester.  Students will only be allowed to enter school at the beginning of each week on one of the following days: 

• Monday, October 19^th
• Monday, October 26^th
• Monday, November 2^nd

Please note that November 2^nd is the last day that virtual learners may return if they wish to come back before the end of the first semester.  Students returning to school must be brought by a parent/guardian to sign in at the front office at the start of school, no later than 7:45, their first day back.  Students will be expected to be in uniform.

Attention Parents/Guardians, all 7th grade virtual learners taking Mrs. Bush's science class are unfortunately not able to see assignments in Schoology. Our Tech team is aware of this situation and are working on it.  In the mean time she has prepared work packets for all students.  We ask that you please come to the schools to pick up your child's packet.  Packets are due back to the school on or before October 22.  If you have any questions please contact Mrs. Bush during her planning block between the hours of 9:53-10:53. You may also contact the guidance counselor, Mrs. Grant as well.  With your help, it is our goal for all of our students to be successful because at WHMS we all succeed together.  Thank you.

School will be closed tomorrow (10-9-20).  School pictures will be rescheduled.  You will be notified at a later date as to when the pictures will be taken.

CENSUS BOWL COMPETITION

CENSUS BOWL COMPETITION

The Clarke County School System is participating in a Census Bowl against other counties in Alabama.  This is a friendly competition designed to increase census participation in Alabama counties. Next week we face Wilcox County. Our system could win as much as $65,000.

The census is crucial for the calculation of many sources of funding for our county.  Please complete your census form if you haven't already done so.

Take the Census HERE

This link will take you to a form under the CNP home page on the District website. If virtual learners would like to start picking up meals, they will need to complete the form online. We hope to start serving on September 21st.  Go to https://www.clarkecountyschools.org/Page/123 

Parents of virtual learners, if you have not set up your child’s Gmail account using the username and password that you received at the Monday night virtual learner meeting, please do this NOW.  Please remember to write down the new password you create.  You cannot wait until the first day of school to do this.  This is only step 1.  You will not receive your Schoology login information, which is what you will need Monday to access your child’s classes, until this Gmail account has been established.    We want to make sure that our students are prepared to begin on the first day of school and successful in accessing their online classes.  Thank you.

Wilson Hall Middle School Virtual Learner Tutorial Sessions

We All Succeed Together at WHMS!

In an effort to help our virtual learners experience success with our new Schoology learning platform, we will be hosting a brief but informative tutorial session for parents and virtual learners.  This will be a basic “how to” session in which parents and students are instructed on the fundamentals of the program.  We will be covering topics such as how to login, check assignments, submit assignments, and other important concepts your child will need to know in order to be successful.  This will also be a great time to stop by and pick up your child’s Schoology login information if you were not able to attend the meeting on Monday night.  This login information is a MUST in order for virtual learners to be able to begin classes on Monday, August 31.  The sessions will take place in our gymnasium on the following days and times.  If you have students in multiple grade levels, please select only one day to attend.  Mask or face coverings are required.  We are also asking that only one parent or guardian attend with your student(s), so that we may abide by social distancing regulations.

Wednesday, August 26^th                     5^th and 7^th grades                    10:30-11:15

Thursday, August 27^th                         6^th and 8^th grades                    10:30-11:15

VIRTUAL LEARNERS

Parents or guardians of virtual learners who were not able to attend the meeting last night to pick up your child’s login information may come by the school between the hours of 8:00 – 11:00 and 1:00 – 3:00 beginning today through Thursday, August 27 to pick up this VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION.  Students must have this information in order to start their online classes on Monday, August 31^st.

Re:      Virtual Learning Meals

The Child Nutrition Program is working on a plan to provide meals to students that choose our virtual learning plan and will not be in the school building for breakfast and lunch. There will be a pre-ordering system on our website and meals will be picked-up at the student’s school at designated times. Meals will continue to be offered at no cost to our students through CEP. Our goal is to start offering meals after Labor Day. Please share this information with parents at registration and ask them to continue to check our website for more information.

Our Jr. Beta Club has earned two recognitions for the 2019-2020 school.  WAY TO GO BETA!!!

Dr. Carolyn Taite, along with the faculty and staff of Wilson Hall Middle School, would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the parents who took the time to pick up their children’s work packets on April 8th. We were so excited to see our students who came along for the ride! We appreciate their dedication to continued learning in this difficult time and we know that without your support, it would not be possible. Please remind your children to pace themselves while completing their packets. There is no need to overwhelm themselves, or you, in attempting to do all the work in one day. Completed packets are due on May 15th. All textbooks and library books will be collected on this day as well. Specific instructions regarding the collection of the packets and other important information will be posted on our website and Facebook pages. You can also look to receive a school cast phone call from Dr. Taite a few days prior to this deadline. In the meantime, we are still accessible to our students on a daily basis via our county emails and other communication platforms, such as Remind, Messenger and Class DoJo. To our students, please know that we miss you! Like you, we have never gone through a pandemic. We are truly all in this together. Be safe, and remember, you may not be in our classrooms right now, but you are always in our hearts. We look forward to seeing you when school begins again.
