Tell Us How We're Doing
Our district values your feedback! We are currently surveying Williams families in order to gain insight into your perception of our school and district effectiveness. To ensure we continue to provide high-quality, rigorous learning experiences that meet the needs of our learners and prepare them for college and career, we need your feedback. We want to know what you think. To administer these surveys, we have partnered with Panorama Education to conduct our 2025 Family Survey. Panorama safeguards your privacy, keeping your responses confidential. The survey shouldn’t take more than a few minutes to complete and will be a valuable source of information for us as we work to make our schools and district as good as they can be. You may complete the survey online between January 6, 2025 and January 24th, 2025 using a computer, tablet, or smartphone by visiting the website: http://surveys.panoramaed.com/hcps/fam4741

Are You a Video, 2D, or 3D Artist? Show Off Your Skills at the SLAM Showcase!
The SLAM Showcase program is designed to promote a love of reading among our students. It encourages students to read a variety of books and respond authentically to their reading via digital and artistic expression. Students participate by reading books they select from their grade level’s Florida award nominee list (Florida Literacy Association, Sunshine State Young Reader Award and Florida Teens Read). Students can then choose to respond through artistic expression and/or digital expression. Each school celebrates the student work at a site SLAM Showcase and submits outstanding entries from each Division/Category for the District event in spring of each year. The district SLAM Showcase event is a celebration of reading, the FL Award books and students with an exhibition of each school’s outstanding student work and recognitions. SLAM Showcase Q&A Who can participate? Students enrolled in grades 6 through 8 at Williams Middle Magnet IB School and read books from their grade level’s current year Florida Awards program lists (Sunshine State Young Readers) may participate.

We will hold a Williams Middle Magnet IB School SLAM Showcase on February 6th during school for classes and teachers to visit and from 4 to 6 PM for families to visit to celebrate the work of all participating students. Ms. Hogsett will arrange for judging for each category. The judges will select one piece of exemplary work in each category to represent the school site at the Hillsborough County SLAM Showcase. All entries are due by 3:30 on Thursday, January 23, 2025.

Should/Must I Take a Semester Exam?
Semester Grade Calculation Chart - Exam Considerations Attached is a Semester Grade Calculation Chart - Exam Considerations document, which outlines the grading criteria for semester courses. This chart provides a detailed breakdown of how semester grades are calculated, including the impact of exam grades on the final semester grade. This chart can be used as additional guidance in determining if a student should consider taking an exam to improve his or her semester grade. Please note that if a student takes a semester exam, the exam grade will be calculated into his or her final semester grade, whether it improves the grade or not. Key Points: The chart includes grade combinations for both middle school and high school credit courses. It highlights how different quarter grades and exam scores combine to form the final semester grade. Grade combinations that improve the semester grade are highlighted in yellow, while those that lower the average grade are in red font. There is also a section (page 2) explaining how the semester grade is calculated based on quarter grades alone (no exam grade). Reminders from Hurricane School Closure Exam Procedures: (also attached) Who will take Semester One Exams in Middle School? MS students who earn a Quarter 1 and Quarter 2 D/F or F/D grade combination in Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, and all high school credit courses.
