I just wanted to take the time to remind everyone about all the different ways WHS communicates with the Waldwick community.   We have so many great things going on here at Waldwick High School, which is why I try to post the information in as many places as possible.  The information below I have posted before but wanted to share it again.  Naviance Emails (WHS News and Guidance News) WHS News - General school announcements, sports highlights, student achievements, etc Guidance News – Guidance newsletters, scholarship opportunities, Career CafĂ©, College Visits, forms, deadlines, etc Waldwick High School Website District news, forms, Student Handbook, Course Selection Guide,  Athletic Schedules, Parent Folder, etc  Facebook Page To all the Facebook users out there, Waldwick High School now has its own Facebook Page.     The page will be another communication tool that I will utilize to keep everyone up to date on events and information going on at WHS.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE FEBRUARY STUDENTS OF THE MONTH JAMES MORAN - ATHLETICS James has been a great leader and a tremendously hard working player for the Waldwick Warriors boy’s basketball team this season. He is usually the first to arrive at practice, and the last to leave. James has really improved throughout the season, making strides to become one of the best big men in our league. All of his hard work and commitment culminated in James outscoring and outplaying his match-up (who is a first team all-county selection) in the second round state playoff game on February 29th.
