What to ask your student

  • How did Hitler come to power?

Science:
  • What was your biggest takeaway from our Genetics unit? 
  • What are you planting and caring for in the Hoop House?

*Note that math class information will not be included in our 9th grade newsletters. 
Academic work outside of school
In some classes, students will have regular homework. In all classes, students should expect to study and spend time working on larger projects outside of the school day. Major assignments and projects are always launched during class time so that students have a secure understanding (and successful experience) before they move forward on their own or with a small group.  

  • A great time to practice study skills and complete homework is the 3:10 to 4:00 pm block of time at the end of the school day. 

  • WTMC National Honor Society is hosting a Study Space with individual tutoring and study groups for WTMC classes! Tutoring and study groups meet in the Student Lounge every day during lunch!
