Waunakee Community Middle School

Boys Basketball Sign-Up

Sign-up for Boys Basketball will take place in the cafeteria on Monday, October 21 and Tuesday, October 22 right after school.

Interested players should stop in, meet the coach, and get your name on the players list.

All of your online athletic paperwork needs to be completed BEFORE the first practice on Monday, October 28.  Be sure you have your green athletic card turned in if this is your 1st Middle School sport or your tan alternate year card if you turned in a green card last year.

Chromebook & WiFi Hotspot Loaners Available for Checkout

Chromebooks and wifi hotspots are available for students to check out overnight to do school work. However, we must have parent permission for this on file in the LMTC before these loans can be made. Students can pick up copies of these permission forms in the LMTC, or they can be printed out: Chromebook Loan Permission Form | Kajeet WiFi Hotspot Loan Permission Form. Please note: Students should never bring their normally assigned chromebook home; they must use one of our loaners. Please see Mr. Noah in the LMTC with any questions.

Ebooks & Audiobooks From the LMTC

LMTC Ebook/Audiobook Access:  You don't need a special app to use our ebooks and audiobooks.  You can search for them and read/listen simply by going to Destiny.  Or, from any web browser visit www.destinydiscover.com, search for  Waunakee Middle School, and enter your Destiny username (student ID number) & your computer password. 

Please note that while ebooks can be downloaded to your device for offline reading, you cannot download audiobooks - the audio is streamed, and thus requires a network connection for listening. 

Be a Good Digital Citizen

Technology connects us to friends and family, information and media. But it can also be used in inappropriate and harmful ways. It's important to be a good Digital Citizen to keep yourself safe and use these tools in an effective and responsible manner. Here are the five themes of Digital Citizenship:

• Balanced students use screen time wisely and do not let the cyber world take over the real world. 
• Literate students look at digital resources critically considering the bias, authority and currency of sources. Be picky about which sources you use, and learn to use specialized information tools provided by the LMTC.
• Responsible students know how to protect themselves online and use borrowed equipment appropriately. Avoid sharing personal information and think before sending messages. When you use school devices, don't use them to create problems for others.  
• Ethical students give credit where credit is due. Take notes from information sources without plagiarizing, and avoid violating laws about copyright.
• Positive students use technology to learn, communicate and create. Do not use it to the detriment of others by spreading rumors, harassing or teasing classmates, taking pictures of people when they are not aware of it, or sending inappropriate messages.
