WJMS In-Person Schedule

Students may bring their own snacks and lunch. They must be kept in the student's small backpack or drawstring bag until snack or lunch time. No microwaves are available to heat up food.

Our lunch times are based on class, not grade level, and occur during third period (on Blue days) and sixth period (on Silver days). Remote students are not expected to be in class during the times their classmates attending in-person are at lunch. Teachers take their lunch breaks at the same time that their classes are at lunch.

Classes that start lunch in the cafeteria will be brought to the cafeteria by their teachers. Students that bring their own lunch should wipe their area and sit in their assigned seat; students that are eating a school lunch should wait in the appropriate line, distanced six feet apart, then wipe their area and sit in their assigned seat. When it is time to switch, students should throw away all trash, take their lunch bag (if brought from home) with them, and head outside using the recess doors (by the cafeteria) to the designated area on the field for their class.

Classes that start lunch at recess will be brought to the activities doors (by the gym) by their teachers. Students that bring their own lunch will leave their lunches on the table by the door. All students will go to the designated area on the field for their class. When it is time to switch, students will head inside via the activities door (by the gym), pick up any lunches left at the table, and proceed to the cafeteria using the electives hallway that passes the the band, choir, and art classrooms.

Remote Learning Day - Friday

The purpose of this day is to offer more individualized support and extended learning for students. Students will be required to login all of their Google Classrooms on Friday and there will be an assignment, learning task, or learning check for them to submit.

The scheduled times for each class period may be used in different ways and that will be communicated to the students by the teacher. For example:

• A virtual class discussion summarizing learning from the week.
• Assigned small group instruction.
• Individualized support for students or individualized extension of learning.
• Feedback conferences with the teacher.
• Assigned intervention time for students who are not meeting standard, missing assignments, or not participating in class.

Some teachers require all students to attend their class Google Meet on Fridays for a short period of time. Some teachers post the learning task or quiz in their Google Classroom and then just meet with a small group of students for learning support.

Students should login to all their Google Classrooms on Friday during the specified times to check what their assignment is for the day. Students will be counted present if they complete the learning task/assignment posted on their Google Classroom by 2:00 pm on Friday.
