Auditions are coming up NEXT WEEK for the hilarious musical, “Something Rotten, Jr”! Auditions are next Wednesday and Thursday September 3rd and 4th. Callbacks will be on Friday, September 5th. Please be prepared to stay until 6:30pm on either Wednesday or Thursday and please keep Friday open for callbacks. For more information, please see the bulletin board outside of the drama room, Room 363. Please see Mrs. Fine for any questions.
There will be no late buses to Boston or Wellesley this afternoon. All bus riders must take the 2:30 pm bus.
The library will be closed after school today.
Today, we will begin using our Yondr pouches in school. All Advisors will hand them out to students in our extended Advisory this morning. Each pouch is assigned and labeled to an individual student, so please ensure that the name on the pouch matches who receives it. Advisors will check that all Smart Devices are off and securely locked in pouches. Students will then store the pouch in their backpacks or lockers until the end
of the school day. At 2:25, we will be dismissing all students five minutes earlier today so that pouches can be unlocked. Please recall the unlocking stations I told you about in yesterday’s assembly – both inside and outside of the building. Adults will be present in the halls to support you, if any problems arise. Please remember that the pouch is your responsibility to care for daily. If you try to open it any other way, it will be considered vandalism of school property, and consequences will be given. On Friday morning upon arrival, you will be expected to show monitors that you are locking your Smart Devices into them before you report to the Auditorium and/or gyms.
Teachers: if there are any students who report to you that they did not bring a device to school today noted with an orange label in the window, please fill out the spreadsheet I sent to you via Google Classroom last night. If a student is absent today, please return the pouch to the main office.
Have a good day everyone!
Please note that the daily announcements are sometimes subject to change during the school day. When this happens the announcements will be updated on the website and on the video screen in the WMS lobby, but a new email will not be sent.
