Greetings WMS Family: What a tremendous week of learning we've had at Woodland Middle School. We have excelled in carrying out our school system's 3 areas of priority for the school year: 1. Attendance, 2. Professional Learning and 3. Tier 1 Instruction. Our average attendance for the week was 94.84.Our goal for the year is to reach 95% at least and keep it there. Our teachers have been focused on collaborating with fidelity to ensure that our students get the very best instruction possible. Our students have been working hard on the right work and growing in their ownership of learning. They received their first progress report yesterday. I hope you've had a chance to take a look at your child's progress report. You can also access their grades on PowerSchool. If you need assistance in getting access to PowerSchool, please call the school and we can help you with that.

I want to remind you that we have a long, 3-day weekend this weekend. Monday, 9/7/26 is a holiday and there will be no school that day.

We will be doing our first round of benchmark assessments on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. Our Beacon ELA assessment will be on Tuesday. The Beacon Math assessment will be on Wednesday. We will do this assessment 3 times this year. This is a quick snapshot to show teachers and students where they are at the moment and helps teachers with Tier 1 instruction.

Lastly, Picture Day will be next Friday, 9/11/26. Pictures will start right after announcements in the morning.

I hope everyone has a great long weekend. Enjoy your Labor Day holiday on Monday. We look forward to seeing all students back on Tuesday.

Best,

Michael Blankenship

We try to get everyone involved in Tier 1 instruction at WMS. Even Officer Thompson got in on the action today. He helped teach Mr. Milam's STEM class about the scientific process in the area of forensic investigation. He discussed fingerprints, trace evidence, investigative techniques, and his experience in law enforcement. #TheWoodlandWayEveryWildcatEveryDay #WeCanDoHardThings #BetterInBartow #STEM

ATTENDANCE MATTERS! We did a drawing for all students who had perfect attendance in August. We have one lucky winner, Hannah Satterfield. Congrats. We will do a drawing every month for those students who have had perfect attendance the month. #TheWoodlandWayEveryWildcatEveryDay #WeCanDoHardThings

How about THAT for a finish?! The Woodland Jr. Wildcats battled back from behind and came through with an 11-10 WALK-OFF WIN over Paulding County! Down 10-9 heading into the bottom of the sixth, the Wildcats refused to quit. Emma came through with a big double, and Brooke delivered the game-winning single to bring home the winning run! 💥 With 10 hits, big defensive plays, and a whole lot of fight, our Wildcats showed exactly what it means to never give up! Way to go, Wildcats! That’s the Woodland Way! 🐾💙❤️#TheWoodlandWayEveryWildcatEveryDay #WeCanDoHardThings
