CORONA VIRUS INFO FOR PARENTS AND STUDENTS

Hello All,

Please see the following for info on the Corona Virus closure.

6th Grade - At this point, students will be given 3 school days to finish or test their bridge once school resumes.  If the 3rd Marking Period grades are required prior to this event, Bridge Grades will be left as exempt.

7th Grade - All Tinkercad Keychain assignments have been graded and are final (you had 3 days for a 20-35 minute assignment).  No other work is due, but students who still have not turned in a signed safety contract are able to do so via e-mail from parent or guardian.  The safety quiz will need to wait until school resumes.  Students also have the ability to complete and submit their Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Restore, Re-purpose assignment while at home and submit electronically.  Points will be deducted for it being over a month late!

8th Grade - Students who have not submitted their Letterhead or Logo assignment should do so immediately.  There will be no grace period given for these assignments.





On this site, you will find important info in regards to 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Technology Education.  Tech Ed is a required course for all students at Wilson Middle School and part of the Encore rotation.
