Lifeskills

WOLVES MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

As a member of the Washington Manor Middle school community, you will be encouraged to demonstrate Lifeskills on a daily basis. These Lifeskills are the behaviors needed to create and maintain a healthy learning environment.

The Lifeskills will be posted in every classroom and will be part of the Common Expectations at school in general. It is our hope that every member of our school community will model these behaviors at all times.
