Spring has sprung! We are now in our last quarter of the 2009-2010 school year! During these final weeks there will be many awards programs and celebrations of student success. With that in mind, it is a great time to remind our students that while school is ALMOST over, it is currently still in session! We have begun to see more student dress code violations and also horse-playing. Please help us by reminding your students about proper school attire and respecting all school rules.
Recently, we sent home a School Uniform Questionnaire to the parents of current 6th and 7th grade students. Although we received less than 30% back, most responders (69%) answered favorably about uniforms at Williams Middle School. An updated School Uniform Policy will be sent home and posted online later this month and parents will have a final opportunity to receive vouchers to purchase uniforms.
We need parent volunteers for our next Duty Free Lunch for teachers. It is scheduled for Thursday, April 8th. You may come from 11:45 to 12:30 or from 12:30 to 1:15. Of course you may also stay the entire period if you wish! Please call the office at 428-7330 to volunteer and we thank you for your support!

Welcome Back!
Welcome Back! I hope everyone enjoyed their Spring Break and is coming back refreshed and recharged for our last quarter of the school year!
Beginning on Wednesday March 24th, all students will participate in our Spring Testing. This includes the Alabama Reading and Math Test and the SAT10. We know that our students are smart and more than capable so we ask that they get plenty of rest at night and eat a healthy breakfast each morning. Test scores are often used to determine class placements as well as future leadership opportunities and even more importantly, they will help prepare our students for college entrance exams.
On another note, we hope to see you all at our PTSA meeting this Thursday at 6pm in the middle school library. We will vote on officers for our 2010-2011 PTSA!
And finally before Spring Break, each student was given a Safe Schools Hotline card that includes a phone number and email address. This hotline is set up so that students or parents can anonymously report incidents that create safety concerns. Creating and maintaining a safe and orderly learning environment is our primary goal! The Safe Schools Hotline phone number is 428-7233 and the email is safe-schools@hsv.k12.al.us
See you all Thursday at 6 for our PTSA meeting!

Let's Thank our Teachers!
Beginning on Thursday March 11th and continuing on the 2nd Thursday of each month, the Parent Advisory Council will sponsor Duty-Free Lunch for our teachers. Additionally, I am working with our business partners to provide lunch for everyone on those days. Our teachers work hard and are dedicated to providing a quality education to all children! Show your appreciation by volunteering to monitor students in the cafeteria so that teachers may relax a bit and have a Duty-Free lunch period. Your presence is needed at the school and this is one way to get involved! Please call the office and let us know what time you are able to help (11:45 to 12:30 or 12:30 to 1:15). Thank you in advance for your support!! Our office number is 428-7330.
