Wallace Middle School

Parents, If your student failed World Geography class during the 2023-2024 school year, summer school will be held at Abingdon High School June 3 through June 21 from 8:00 am until 1:30 pm. Transportation from Wallace Middle School will be available. Any student who failed the World Geography SOL should go to remediation at AHS from June 18 to June 21 from 8:30 to 12:00. The SOL will be given on June 20/21. Please be reminded that students need to pass the class and the SOL to receive the full high school credit. Please call the school for more information.

Be sure to take a few moments and read this article, written by our Superintendent @WashCoSuper, that shares some very real and concerning challenges for many students in Southwest Virginia. Due to a "lack of equal access, an inequitable field of play has been inadvertently created in Virginia." https://cardinalnews.org/2024/05/24/leveling-the-playing-field-for-vhsl-competitions/

In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, the WMS Beta Club members “adopted” a faculty member. Students brought a gift based on different themes each day for their secret pal. To show their gratitude, teachers provided breakfast for the students Friday morning as well as a gift for them. This is always an end-of-year event that brings fun for everyone involved, while affording teachers and students the opportunity to get to know one another a little better.

Yearbook distribution day May 20th!
