ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY-FALL SPORTS
In order for students to be eligible
for fall sports, either at Willowick
Middle School, North High or
South High Schools, they must
meet academic eligibility rules.
Students must have an overall
Grade Point Average for the 4th
Grading Period of at least 2.0.
Students below 2.0 will be on probation until grades are improved.
In addition, students who fail two
subjects are ineligible, even if their
overall grades are high enough.
Please note that final grades are
not considered…only 4th quarter
grades determine eligibility!
WWMS SPORTS INFORMATION
Please go to our Athletic
Website during the year for
information regarding all
sporting events, dates,

hope that all those attending enjoyed the show

“DOPE IS FOR DOPES” PROGRAM
For 8TH GRADE STUDENTS
FRIDAY, MAY 5TH
In our continued efforts to reinforce positive
decision-making with the students at Willowick
Middle School, we had an assembly for 8th
grade students during first period on Friday, May
5th.
That morning, inmates from Grafton Correctional
Facility discussed their experiences and how
poor decisions have impacted their lives.
This youth outreach program, entitled “Dope is
for Dopes”, stressed the importance of making
good choices at a young age. This program has
a positive message and is unlike other “scare
you straight” presentations. The inmates have
been trained to speak to children and have
earned the opportunity to visit schools to share
their stories and stress the importance of hard
work, honesty, and positive choices. Several
correction officers accompanied the inmates and
Willowick police officers were present for the
assembly.
Thank you for your continued support of our
mission of academic and character education.
Tdap and Meningococcal
Immunizations for 2017-2018
At the beginning of May, W-E Schools sent a
letter regarding the Tdap and the Meningococcal immunizations, to all families that
have students entering the 7th grade in the
2017-18 school year. Please read this letter
carefully and call the Willowick Middle
School Clinic at 440-295-2417 with any
questions.
If your child has not received these immunizations, please contact your pediatrician to
get this booster before school starts in August. Students who do not provide documentation of these boosters will be subject to
exclusion from school.
