Good afternoon WAMS families, this is Principal Aaron Acome.
It is hard to believe that we are just two weeks away from the end of the first quarter! This is a great time to log into PowerSchool and check your child’s grades. We encourage you to have conversations with your student about any outstanding assignments that need to be completed and submitted before the grading period ends.
Students should also check with their teachers to confirm the last day they can turn in any work for this grading period. Thank you for your continued support and partnership in ensuring all assignments are submitted on time.
