8th GRADE PARENTS/GUARDIANS
** Leilehua High School is offering Summer School classes for incoming 9th graders. This is a great opportunity for students to get a head start on earning high school credits! 9th graders may register for Physical Education (9 & 10), Health, or World History. PE and Health are half-credit classes, and World History is a full credit class. If you noted (on the registration card you completed earlier this year) that your child would be enrolling in Summer School, you may take advantage of Priority Registration, which will be held on April 3, 4, or 5. Otherwise, Open Registration will be held on April 10, 11, and 12. Completed online application and full payment are required at time of registration. The online application will be available on March 19. Please see the attached flyer for more information.
** 8th Grade Promotion Pictures will be taken on Tuesday, April 3, through your child's ELA class. Your child will be given a proof sheet sometime in April and parents may order pictures at that time. These pictures will be used on promotion certificates to be given out at our Promotion Ceremony.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: If you'd like to spend 30 minutes with a group of noisy kids, let me know! ;) We have a game room that is open during lunch; if you'd like to spend some time watching the kids, send me an email and I'll give you more information! Great way to spend some time at school and rack up some volunteer hours!
We have a Twitter account! Please check out our tweets at @wheelermiddlehi!
Do you order from Amazon.com? If so, did you know that you could support our PTSO with every order? You can support WMS by accessing Amazon through this link:
BUS PASSES: Beginning TODAY, Wheeler Middle School Staff will not be issuing discretionary bus passes to students after school. If your child does not have his/her school ID card, he/she will not be allowed to ride the bus home. Your child will be given the option to call home for their ID card or a ride, or they may purchase a new ID card for $1.00. Wheeler Middle School is aware that many of the students have paid for the privilege to ride the bus. However, proper bus rules and policies still need to be followed to ensure the safety of each student.
CASH ONLY PAYMENTS: Because we're getting close to the end of the school year, checks will only be accepted through Thursday, March 29. Beginning April 2, all payments for bus and lunch payments, field trips, student fees, and any other student obligations, need to be paid in CASH only. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation!
As always, please feel free to email or call me if you have any questions! Hope everyone has a great week!
Mary
