Good afternoon Western Alamance Middle School families,
I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend. There are only 4 weeks left in the 3rd Quarter. Please take a moment to log into Infinite Campus to review grades and have meaningful conversations with your student about any outstanding assignments that need to be completed. We have also seen an uptick in students wearing wireless headphones. Wireless headphones are included within the cell phone policy. Headphones should be in bookbags during school unless directed by a teacher for a specific assignment during school hours.
We would like to thank all of the parent and staff volunteers who attended the dance and contributed to its great success, especially Ms. Kasserman and Ms. Summers.
PTO: The PTO would like to thank everyone for a successful Masquerade Ball! We will be able to fund small projects for WAMS students & staff.
Yearbook: This is the final week to purchase yearbooks. Please follow the link to make your order. Capture the Moments that Matter- Purchase your Yearbook here
