WGOM: Family Computing Program!

Milwood Magnet School has begun the implementation of its Family Computing Program. This program offers families the opportunity to take part in the construction of a computing system for personal usage. The intent of this program is to expose current Milwood Magnet School families to technologies offered by the school, as well as bridge the "Digital Divide." Through this program, families will be given exposure to multiple computer-based tools that include: the Parent Internet Viewer (PIV) system, the Milwood Magnet School web site, and teacher blogs. The FCP offers the opportunity for academic growth in 21st century skills, as well as provides tools for parental support through the demystification of technology.

For more information, or to apply to be a part of our Family Computing Program, please visit Milwood Magnet School's FCP page.

WGOM: New visitors at Milwood!

The 7th grade science classes welcomed a couple of visitors this past week into their classrooms.

This little guy is a painted lady butterfly, still in larvae, or caterpillar, form. Students will watch the caterpillars through the pupal stage and hatch to become a butterfly.

The praying mantis is another visitor that made its arrival this week. It comes arrives as an egg case and will hatch into multiple mantises. This should happen in the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned as we keep you updated on the care of our visitors!

WGOM: Check in on the Salmon!

Have you checked in on the salmon lately?



We're happy to be back in action again on The Lancer Letter and bring you more updates in the coming weeks.
