Williston-Elko Middle School (WEMS) recently hosted its annual Math Engagement Night, welcoming students, parents, guardians, faculty, and staff, as well as students and staff from the DIG program.
The event featured hands-on, math-centered activities throughout the building, including flashcard games, pentominoes, multiplication bingo, and a scavenger hunt. These activities provided students and families with an interactive way to engage with mathematics while also fostering collaboration and fun.
In addition, attendees had the opportunity to explore the South Carolina College and Career Ready Standards for Math in a family-friendly format. Families were also provided with the Barnwell County School District Promotion-Retention Rubric and engaged in discussions about academic success expectations tailored to their children.
“The evening was a great success,” said Patricia Ulmer, WEMS Principal. “It was wonderful to see students, families, and staff collaborate on improving math skills through play. Our parents, guardians, and students left with a clearer understanding of the new math standards and of our promotion and retention rubric."
A priority for WEMS is to host family engagement events that allow students, parents, and guardians to work together, learn collaboratively, and become familiar with academic expectations and standards. Math Engagement Night provided the perfect opportunity for families to be actively involved in their children’s learning while celebrating the importance of mathematics in everyday life. The school looks forward to hosting more events like this in the future.
