Welcome Back Post

I hope you had a great two months aways from WHS and enjoyed the summer. I have missed the students and can’t wait to have everyone back in the building next week. Getting back to the school routine is never easy but seeing friends everyday, learning new things, attending games and having some structure in the day, is a good thing.  I am looking forward to an amazing year!
September 4 we will follow a Special Schedule where all classes will meet

Everyone will report to their Period 1 class by 8am.

Seniors who have Period 1 Independent should be in the building by 8:50am.

Students should bring a copy of their schedule or a screen shot

Health classes will start on Thursday, 9/5. All students should report to the Gym on the first day. Science Labs will not start until Thursday, 9/12.

Locker # and combination are available on Genesis, as well as on your schedule.

The entire school year has been planned out related to the rotation schedule. See link to the calendar for the year: 2019 - 2020 Rotation Schedule

Classes start at 8am. I can't emphasize this enough, students need to be at school no later than 7:55am.

Improvements around WHS

New Epson Interact Boards - three new boards/projects were installed over the summer in Rooms 140, 142, 144.

Bathroom Renovations - Six bathrooms at the HS have been renovated since the Spring. The bathrooms in the Senior Wing, Art Wing and down by the Greenberg Center were all completely gutted and updated. Floors, sinks, toilets and partitions were all replaced. 

Gym padding - The wall padding was replaced and updated with new logos. 

Greenberg Center Entrance - The entrance has been completely renovated with a new floor, wheelchair ramp.  The bathrooms were renovated back in June.  The Booster Club is donating all of the new signage around the entrance and gym.  We are still waiting on a few items, but can't wait for the project to be completed! It is going to look amazing! 

Trainer's Room - We moved the trainers room up by the locker rooms to provide more space for treatment and care of our student-athletes. 

No Homework Breaks will be back again
Once again we will have "NO Homework Breaks" throughout the school year. These breaks are needed to allow students to relax from the stress of school work and enjoy time with friends and family. I encourage everyone during these breaks to use this time to have family dinners, plan a game night, go to the movies, read just for the enjoyment of it, or anything
that might put a smile on your faces.

Breaks with No Homework

• Teacher Convention 11/7 - 11/8
• Holiday Break 12/23 - 1/1
• Winter Break 2/14 - 2/17
• Spring Break 4/10 - 4/17

Things to do before September
Complete all of the "Forms" required in Genesis Parent Access - What Forms

Seniors that plan on parking on campus need to complete the Parking Permit Application. Seniors will be able to pick up their parking pass on August 26 & 27 from 8:15am to 1pm as long as all online forms have been submitted in Genesis.
