Wolf Call Weekly

HELLO WOLF PACK STUDENTS AND FAMILIES,

We hope this message finds you well and that your school year is off to a good start!

In an effort to continue improving communication to our families and community of West Hills High School, we are using a new format of our daily bulletin which includes weekly, informative messages and announcements. Students and families will still receive messages from the school with specific announcements, things to remember, and highlights of which to be aware of. The West Hills website will include a page that will host current and previous reports as a resource. (Info, Wolf Call Weekly) We encourage your participation as an active reader of these communications that will help bridge our communication between WHHS and Students & Families. Thank you for your continued support for all students at West Hills!

WHHS Administration,

Robin Ballarin, Principal

Joshua Johnson, Assistant Principal (A-G)

Carrie Gaeir, Assistant Principal (H-O)

The mission of West Hills High School is to graduate critical thinkers and problem-solvers who contribute positively to society as productive, responsible citizens.

Please make sure to bring your Chromebook charged to school every day. All students should have a functioning Chromebook checked out and should be able to log into school accounts.

Hey Pack! Have you seen the new blue paw prints around campus?? Students have designated areas during lunch. Students must stay inside of the boundaries marked by the blue paw prints during lunch (see out-of-bounds map). Students are not permitted to go to the parking lot during lunch unless they are leaving for the day or have prior approved permission.

We made it! THANK YOU students for your patience and participation with our 1st week back! We had not 1, not 2, not 3 but 4 Assemblies this past week to welcome each grade level Class (Grade 9 had their extended HOWL day on Aug. 5) culminating in our whole school assembly on the football field on Friday with our inaugural "Running of the Pack." We THANK YOU for your patience as we moved the schedule last minute to avoid the hottest part of the day and switched things up on Friday. We are following up with students with a short survey regarding how they felt about the whole week. Check out the pictures and the video below.

Please mark your calendars to be here on campus for our Back to School night Tuesday August 31 This is an opportunity for parents to meet their teachers in person briefly and learn a little bit more about the classroom their student is in each day!
