Ranger Review Week #14

CTE Showcase Day 7th Grade: On Tuesday, November 10 all 7th grade students will participate in the district CTE showcase. The CTE Showcase provides an opportunity for them to explore the wide range of Career and Technical Education programs available in Hays CISD—many of which they may not yet know exist. Students will also learn about the courses, certifications, and career pathways that can help prepare them for their futures. Additionally, by interacting with our industry partners, they’ll gain meaningful insight into potential career interests. 7th grade students will leave WMS at approximately 1:45pm and return around 3pm.

Spinal Screenings: We will be completing the state required spinal screening at Wallace Middle School on December 2, 2026. 7th grade girls and 8th grade boys will be screened. School-based spinal screening helps to identify adolescents with abnormal spinal curves and refer them for appropriate follow-up by their primary care physician. Screening can detect scoliosis at an early stage, when the curve is mild and may go unnoticed. Early detection is key to controlling spinal deformities which can affect a person’s appearance and health.

Students will be screened on campus during the school day, and you do not need to be present. The procedure for screening is simple. The screeners are specially trained and will look at your child’s back while he or she stands and then bends forward. For this exam, boys and girls will be seen separately and individually.

BOYS AND GIRLS WILL NEED TO WEAR REGULAR SHORTS/PANTS AND REMOVE THEIR SHIRTS. WE SUGGEST GIRLS WEAR A SPORTS BRA OR BATHING SUIT TOP AS THEY MAY FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE. GIRLS WILL BE SCREENED REGARDLESS.

Parents will be notified of the results ONLY if a professional follow-up is necessary. If you have questions or concerns, please contact the school nurse at anjelica.hall@hayscisd.net.

7th Grade Fundraiser: Help support the WMS 7th graders by ordering or eating at MOD pizza on Monday November 9th! Mention Wallace Middle School when ordering and MOD will donate 25% of the total to support our 7th grade field trip and field day.

Have an amazing week!

All students (PK – 12th) will be issued a Hays CISD identification card (ID) for the academic year. The ID will designate their assigned campus, name, academic year, grade, legislatively mandated information and student ID number. The ID is to be worn at all times while on campus or utilizing campus transportation. Any campus activity that utilizes the student ID # will rely on the presence of the ID for tracking purposes, i.e. bus transportation, café, library, etc.

In the event the students loses, misplaces, forgets an ID, they will be expected to report to their designated campus location to immediately receive a replacement. This cost of a replacement ID will be $5.00. This price is determined by the costs associated for supplies including card, lanyard, sleeve and printing. IDs can be paid for with cash, check, or on RevTrak. Students who owe ID fees are not eligible to go outside or to the library during lunch.
