Principal Halfaker, 7th grade counselor Takiyah Jackson, and I visited Meany Middle School today to give an overview of WMS, describe the transition process, and answer questions for those students coming to Washington. Over 100 Meany 6th and 7th graders will attend WMS next year, and they had many questions. They listened attentively, and some came up to us afterward to have a more in-depth answers. i enjoyed meeting them and am really looking forward to their coming to Washington next year. Our school will be enriched by their presence.
Then next step in the transition process will be an Open House at Washington on Tuesday, March 24 from 5 to 8. This will be not only for Menay students and their families, but also those coming to us from Summit and AAA. Dinner will be served, and after an opportunity to look around the school and visit classrooms and teachers, parents and students will split up. the students will go to the gym, where Washington’s ASB (Associated Student Body, a.k.a. Student Council) will give them a student’s view of WMS and answer questions student-to-student. Meanwhile the adults will convene in the lunchroom to speak with WMS staff. We’re hoping for a big turnout.
