From the Principal

We hope everyone had a relaxing and refreshing Winter Break. We know we are rejuvenated and ready to continue on our path towards academic excellence at WOK Middle School.
 
We need to first get used to saying that it is 2012.  January marks a very important stretch in schools.
 
NJ ASK testing is a little over three months away. In preparation for the Spring NJ ASK students will participate in more frequent  test prep activities.  It is imperative that the your child attends school every day unless they are really ill.
 
In general the WOK Middle School staff  is excited about the learning opportunities that await your children during 2012 and we look forward to the NJ ASK Spring testing.

Parental Involvement Plan

Parent involvement is crucial to the health and well-being of a child. As a parent, you are the most important influence in your child's success in school and in life. In this role, you have a fresh opportunity every day to get involved with your child.

Parent involvement in children’s education allows kids to perform better in school, and navigate more easily some of the challenges of growing up, such as bullying.
