AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK

Image
The week of November 18-22 has been proclaimed AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK.   Thursday, November 21, 2013 , has been designated as a special visitation day for parents and guardians at Waldwick High School.   Ongoing research shows that parental involvement in schools improves student achievement, enhances collaboration between home and school, reduces absenteeism and restores confidence among parents in their children’s education.   I encourage you to visit the High School on Thursday, November 21, between the hours of 8:15 and 3:00 pm. The following suggestions are made to facilitate your visit to the High School: Please sign in and receive a visitor’s pass at the Main Office. To minimize interruptions to our educational programs, please limit your stay in a classroom to fifteen (15) minutes.   Also, please do not confer with teachers or students while visiting.   Thank you for your cooperation.   We look forward to your visit.

September Students of the Month 2013 – 2014   WORLD LANGUAGE ANTHONY TUTSCHEK - Anthony was selected as student of the month for World Language because he has proven to be responsible, respectful, intelligent and articulate.   He arrives on time each morning looking forward to learning something new.   He remains on task throughout the period and completes all his work. Anthony distinguishes himself from the rest of his classmates by being inquisitive and pointing out things that may be relevant to the lesson.   Anthony works very well when paired up with other students and takes pride in his work.   TECHNOLOGY JOSEPH HURBAN - Joe is a senior in CAD IV.   He has an excellent average and can think for himself, which will be a great advantage for Joe since he wants to become an engineer.   Joe plans on using his CAD design skills in order to participate in design competitions.   Last year Joe was part of a winning team in the Thomas Edison Foundation Design Competition.
