Here are some ways you can support your student now in preparation for the GMAS:

  • Encourage your child to give his/her best efforts in class each day. 

  • Attendance matters! Students are still learning new skills and concepts at this time of year while keeping old learning fresh!

  • Please feel free to review the study guides with your child at home!  You can access the online study guides for 6th-8th ELA and Math, as well as, 8th Grade Science and 8th Grade Georgia Studies here: https://www.gaexperienceonline.com  

  • View the  GA Parent and Student Resources

  • Check out the Q& A for Parents  English Version and  Spanish Version

  • Please view the testing schedule below

  • Get a good night's rest

  • Eat a good breakfast

  • Be on time school (7:45 AM) and do not sign out early

  • Please schedule appointments on non-testing days or in the afternoon. 

We can't wait to see our WJMS Knights SHINE on these assessments! Thank you for your continued support in your child's academic endeavors. Please feel free to reach out to your child's teachers for any questions you may have regarding this important assessment.
