5th Grade Magnet School Session
As you probably know, the magnet application period will be Jan. 28 - Feb. 9. If you are considering magnet options for your child, you will find important information that you need at www.wcpss.net. Click on the "school assignment" tab and enter your street address to determine both your base school assignment and magnet options. The application will need to be completed online during the application period. If you would like assistance completing the online application, please call me at 856-7734. I can help walk you through the application process over the phone, or you can schedule an appointment with me here at Wiley and we can complete it on a school computer (during Jan. 28 - Feb. 9).
You are invited to attend a session presented by Tamani Anderson-Powell of the WCPSS Magnet Office on Friday, January 24, 12:00 -1:00 PM, in the media center. She will explain the "in's and out's" of the magnet application process and answer any questions you have. You may bring a bag lunch if you're hungry! An RSVP to me is encouraged but not required. I hope you can attend this informative session!
If your child is planning to go to his/her base school, then no action is necessary. Please contact Mrs. Williams if you have any questions about the magnet session 919-856-7734 (Mrs. Williams' office).
