Waples Mill Updates 4/24

Good Afternoon Waples Mill Families,

We hope you are all doing well.  We are looking forward to resuming live instruction with you on Monday, April 27th!  Here are this week's updates:


Waples Mill Distance Learning Updates

Beginning Monday, April 27 we will resume live instruction through Blackboard Collaborate Ultra. Students will access live sessions using the new links sent through their FCPS Gmail. Students can log into their Gmail accounts through the FCPS Google Suite Page. Your child’s 7-digit ID number (@fcpsschools.net) is their Gmail account. Their password is the same one they use to log into their computer. Please review the steps outlined in this 2-minute video for help in finding and using these new links. Families also received email communication from Mr. Brotemarkle and their classroom teacher yesterday that provides additional information and resources pertaining to distance learning.

Yearbook News from the Waples Mill PTA

Please see below for a message from the Waples Mill PTA regarding our 2019-2020 yearbook:

We are looking into ways that we can continue to support our WMES Staff, Students and Community during these extraordinary times.  One such way is to ensure that we complete and deliver a yearbook for the 2019-2020 school year.  In addition to the classroom sections, we are including three new sections – Who’s that Beautiful Baby? (baby photos of our graduating 6th graders), Time with Family (photos of your family at home) and Show Your Eagle Spirit (photos of your student in WMES spirit wear, black & gold or eagle gear).  To do so, we NEED YOUR HELP!  Your photos to be more precise.  Please EMAIL any classroom or class event photos you may have from earlier in the year, your 6th grader’s baby photo, photos of what you/your students have been doing these past few weeks and photos of your student in WMES spirit wear, black & gold or eagle gear to your student’s teacher ASAP.  With your help, we can deliver a wonderful memento that your student will cherish for years to come.
