WOLF WEEKLY

April 14, 2024

Good evening Lake Ridge Middle School Parents/Guardians- 

IRW Testing

Tuesday, April 16th, 8th grade students will be participating in the Integrated Reading & Writing Assessment.  Make sure you come to school with your fully charged laptop along with your charging cable.  6th & 7th grade students will be on their normal bell schedule, however 8th grade students will have a modified testing bell schedule.  Students, it is extremely important that all students are silent in the hallways during testing so as not to disturb testers.

Participation in Fun Day Activities

As we begin the 4th marking period, I want to emphasize the importance of maintaining momentum and continuing to work hard, make good decisions, and stay focused on our goals. One goal would be to attend our FUN DAY scheduled for June 5th.  This will be a day filled with laughter, games, and camaraderie. It’s a time for our students to unwind, celebrate their achievements, and create lasting memories. 

Eligibility for attendance-

 Academic Standing: To participate in Fun Day, students must maintain academic eligibility. Specifically:

    • No student can have two or more F’s in their classes during the fourth quarter.
    • Consistent effort and commitment to learning are essential.

 Behavioral Expectations:

    • Students cannot have any major referrals resulting in out-of-school suspensions during the fourth quarter.
    • Additionally, they must avoid accumulating three or more total referrals leading to after-school detentions or Saturday school.
Library Standing:
    • Students must be in good standing with the library. This means no outstanding fines or overdue books.

All participation is at the discretion of the administrators.  Ineligible students and families will be notified on Friday, May 31st through email.

WSHS Cheer Interest

Please see the attached flyer (Erin Williams Email 4/11) regarding an interest meeting for any rising 8th or 9th grade student interested in joining the cheer team at Woodbridge Senior High School next year.  8th grade students are eligible to tryout for the JV team only.

Weather can become a factor during the Spring Season with rain and heat. We will make every attempt to let you know if practices/games are being canceled for the day; otherwise, we plan for practices to be run as scheduled. As space allows, we are often able to move practices indoors. We will make the final call for any cancellations between 1:30 pm and 2 pm.  Please be prepared to move inside, athletes will NOT be permitted to practice in crocs, slides, or other non-backing shoe; sneakers/turf shoes are to be work. Thank you! 

On June 1st, 2024 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at the Kelly Leadership Center, the Student Athletic and Activities Office is running a Sports Fair that offers information about all the Athletic Opportunities that are offered in Prince William County. Coaches and athletes will be offering information about the programs offered and providing information regarding sign-ups and Athletic Physicals/Concussion Training for the High Schools. (It is different compared to Middle School) 

8th Grade Athletes: As we are approaching the Spring Season, multiple High School Sports are starting their Spring Off-Season Workouts/Conditioning, Athletes are NOT ALLOWED to participate in these workouts/conditioning sessions until June 8th, 2024. This is a VHSL Regulation and High School Activity Coordinators are aware/monitoring this. 

 

Monday will be an “A” day.
