6th Grade Orientation Information
Technology Information
WHMS is a one-to-one school.
Every student has a Chromebook issued at the beginning of the school year.
Students and parents must sign the 1:1 computer agreement before students are issued a Chromebook.
Students are responsible for repair costs of damages to the computer.
Students will keep the same Chromebook for the entire time they are at WHMS. Changes are only made due to computer failure.
Chromebooks are only carried to ALL classes.
Teachers use Google Classroom to facilitate instruction and learning. Students use their harnettstudents.org accounts to log in to all school resources. Harnettstudents accounts are to be used only for school purposes.
Parents are strongly encouraged to sign up for Infinite Campus to monitor students' grades and attendance. This allows the most current information regarding students' grades and attendance. Progress reports are sent home at mid-term (4.5 weeks in the quarter) and report cards are sent home at the end of the quarter.
Be sure to give your students' teachers a current email address to receive digital communication via Google Classroom summaries and/or Classroom Dojo.
Students visit the media center every 2 weeks and check out 3 books. If students read all 3 books before the scheduled class time, they will be allowed to come and exchange their books at specific times.
