Casting Call for WMS Parent Advisory Committee Members
We are looking for parent representatives to be a part of our WMS Parent Advisory Committee for the 2010-2011 school year. As the parent of a WMS student, your input as a stakeholder in the aspects of their education is vital. The Advisory Committee meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month at 5:00 P.M. at WMS. If you are interested and your schedule permits, we look forward to hearing from you!  If interested please contact Mrs. Angela Owens at 703-494-3181 or at owensab@pwcs.edu.

Same Gender Classes

Woodbridge Middle School is proud to offer same gender classes.  Sixth, seventh and eighth grade students have the option of same gender classes for science, social studies, math, and language arts.  Parents are given the opportunity to opt students in as a part of the standard class selection form.   Students are enrolled by selecting Same Gender classes when making course selections.  In addition, parents have the option of transferring their son/daughter in from other schools, as long as they are able to provide transportation both to and from school.

For information feel free to e-mail Skyles Calhoun, WMS principal, at calhousa@pwcs.edu.  Research has shown that there are tremendous differences in how boys and girls learn. Teachers who are trained to teach the way boys and girls learn best can increase the rate of academic achievement.  Our staff has been trained by one of the leading experts in the field, Dr. Leonard Sax, author of Why Gender Matters:  What Parents and Teachers Need to Know about the Emerging Science of Sex Differences. 

For further information about this fascinating research, you may wish to visit www.singlesexschools.org.  This website is hosted by the National Association for Single Sex Public Education (NASSPE).  Dr. Sax is the founder of this organization.
