West Hempstead Middle School

Good afternoon WHMS. These posters are all around our school. The LICC offers free mental health counseling & resources. The QR code opens to their homepage. Or ask your counselor for more info. @whufsdrams #Ramresolve @smurraylb

Ss in Ms. Parillo’s math classes continued a long-term project to create a comic/graphic story to teach younger Ss how to calculate the volume of a solid. Independent work supported by clear rubric. Add in choice of platform & you get engagement. @whufsdrams @smurraylb #RamPride

This week WHMS's very own Ms. LaRosa was the special guest on Mr. Rehman's "Coffee & Conversation" podcast. Listen to her talk about learning, passions, & her grandparent's love story at http://www.whufsd.com/district/superintendents_coffee. @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB

There are many ways Ss can seek help at WHMS. Here Ss are in our Student Support Center staffed by our TA, Ms. Sullivan. Catching up on missed assignments, a quiet place to study/get ahead, reviewing PowerSchool. Making lunchtime productive! @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurraylb

Date Change - Budget Vote and Trustee Election is now May 11, 2021. #RamResolve

Students in Ms. Parillo’s math class embarking on a PBL in which they create a comic book/graphic “novel” to teach a younger student about solids. Rubric, exemplars, & coaching. Perfect PBL! @whufsdrams #Ramresolve @smurraylb

Teachers at WHMS continued their work at this month's faculty meeting engaging in a self-assessment using the Schools to Watch rubric. Our critical examination of our practices will support the continuous improvement of our school. @whufsdrams #RamResolve #RamPride @smurrayLB

Students in Ms. Spallino’s Italian class are making digital masks for Carnivale this year instead of our traditional paper. Let’s remote and in-person learners share the same experience. #RamResolve @whufsdrams @smurraylb

The sun is shining and the learning is warming up. Mental sweat oozing out of our pores @CornwellAveES #RamResolve

A big #WestHempsteadWednesday shout out to students in Ms. Perlow's class at George Washington using KidOyO to teach and support their classmate’s learning! #RamFam #RamPride

The U.S. Department of Education said Monday that states must administer standardized tests this year, but the tests can be shortened and will not be used to evaluate schools. https://www.lohud.com/story/news/education/2021/02/23/ny-must-give-standardized-tests-some-regents-exams-may-canceled/4558846001/ #RamResolve
