2023-2024 NEWS CREW
How-To Video
The WMPE News crew is made up of twenty 5th grade students. Each crew of students serves a MONTH on the morning news. There will be 10 anchors and 10 behind-the-scenes specialists for a total of 20.
There are 2 jobs for news crew duty: 1) anchor (must submit video application) 2) behind-the-scenes specialist (sign-up form only..will be randomly selected) |

You can apply to be both an anchor and a behind the scenes applicant, but if chosen, you will only be assigned to one role or the other.
RULES FOR NEWS CREW:
1) You must be able to commit for the duration of your assignment and be able to arrive in the news room by 7:15 during your assignment. If you do not arrive in the news room by 7:15 a.m. for your duty, you will be replaced that day because...the show must go on!
2) Parents are not allowed in the news room but may watch the news from the daily Teams Live link. Email Ms. J for the link.
3) Your homeroom teacher has the discretion to deny your privilege on the news crew team any morning for any reason.
4) News crew trumps safety patrol, so if you are assigned at the same time, you will forego your morning safety patrol duties during your news crew assignment and work afternoon safety patrol instead.
