Dear Parents/Guardians,
I would like to inform you about a system we have implemented at Mabank Junior High to help
our students turn in their work. We have called it WOW week (Who Owes Work). Our goal at
MJH is to help your child have as many opportunities as possible to complete missing
assignments, improve their learning, and feel successful.
Our WOW week will fall in the middle of each nine weeks. The specific dates will be posted on
the webpage. During the WOW Tuesday, we will have an adjusted schedule to allow students
that owe assignments an hour to complete them. (2:30-3:30). If the students do not finish their
missing work during this time, they will have the remainder of the week to get them turned in.
The list will be updated daily to remove students that have successfully turned in their work. On
Friday of the WOW week at 3:30, a list will be generated of students that still owe work and if
your child is still missing assignment(s), they will be assigned a WOW Saturday school for the
following day. It is imperative that your child attends; if not in attendance we will make sure
ALL STUDENTS COMPLETE ALL ASSIGNMENTS. If for some reason your child is unable
to attend a WOW Saturday school, please contact the school so we can document the absence.
After all, our motto is, “Where every child counts!” Your support is greatly appreciated as we are
doing everything we can to help your child be successful.
At Mabank Junior High we set high expectations which include turning in ALL assignments, in a
timely manner. With that in mind we are THRILLED and more than happy to reward those
students that turn in quality work on time, meaning they have no missing assignments. On our
WOW Tuesday, during the 2:30-3:30 time we will have games, activities, concessions, and more
to come! Our ultimate goal is to see 100% of our MJH students complete all assignments so we
can ALL celebrate success together!
Thank you for your support!
