ATTENTION 8TH GRADERS:
CORRECTION IN DATE FOR 8TH GRADE ORIENTATION
To allow students interested in attending the WCCTEC open house on March 12, we have moved the 8th grade orientation date at Wallace Middle School to March 14 @ 6 pm, still to be heald in the WMS auditorium. Any questions, contact Mrs. Buffalow.
Good evening,
Earlier this week we received additional information concerning instructional hours and remote learning. This led to a conversation with VDOE staff which provided a new perspective on our plan to offer virtual instruction on March 5. As a result of this conversation, I am announcing that WCPS will be closed on March 5 and that our last day of school will remain the same (May 29).
We hope to offer childcare for working parents of elementary students on March 5. If possible, we will provide additional information in the near future.
Thank you,
Keith Perrigan, Ed.D.

Candy Bar fundraiser deadline has been extended until Thursday, Feb. 29. All money is due by Friday, March 1.
WMS will partner with Isaiah 117 House to collect items they will need for their new location on Exit 5. We will start collecting pajamas starting on Monday, February 26. We are asking students to bring in brand new pajama sets to donate. The pajamas should still have the tags (price tags can be removed). Each homeroom will collect the donations and keep a tally of the students who donated a set of pajamas. On Friday, March 1, any student who donated a set of pajamas will be allowed to wear pajamas to school that day (pajamas must be school-appropriate and meet the dress code standards).
