CONGRATULATIONS to Mary Svenvold- WMS/DCHS Choir teacher for being selected as the January Staff Member of the Month at Washington Middle School. Mrs. Svenvold....YOU ROCK!!! #WMSDEMONS #GPSPRIDE #WMSAWESOMIZER #WMSSTAFFMEMBEROFTHEMONTH What was your favorite thing to do during the COVID shutdown? Go for walks with Mrs. Kurtz What is your favorite outside activity? Hiking in Makoshika Why did you decide to work at WMS? I heard there were some awesome kids who needed a teacher, and there was a beautiful auditorium involved. Win-win! If you could be any cartoon character who would you choose and why? The genie from Aladdin, so I could make COVID go away What is your favorite quote? I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. -William E. Henley

Today we held our first ever Semester Celebration at WMS! Since we have been unable to have BLITZ Days this year due to COVID restrictions, we felt it was important for our students to have a POSITIVE, fun day, to celebrate how much we have accomplished this year! Our teachers did a great job of creating fun activities for the students in their individual classrooms. Looking forward to a GREAT last 4 months of school! GO DEMONS!!! #WMSDEMONS #GPSPRIDE

Starting tomorrow, 1/26/21, WMS will have a slightly altered schedule for the remainder of the school year. We will revert back to having a home room to start the school day. To accomplish this we shortened passing time back to 4 minutes (as it was previous years). Students will start school 2 minutes earlier (7:58 am) and will be dismissed at the same time 2:46 pm. Class periods will stay the same length as they have been this year. We are hopeful this additional time in home room will help us better support our students. If you have any questions about this, please call 377-2356. GO DEMONS!!! #WMSDEMONS #GPSCOMMUNITY
