Be Seen Be Heard Grade Level Presentations
GRADE LEVEL STUDENT PRESENTATIONS FOR ERIN’S LAW:

Erin’s Law, House Bill 6193, was signed by Governor Pat Quinn on January 24, 2013. This law requires schools to implement an age-appropriate sexual assault and abuse awareness and prevention curriculum for grades Pre-K through 12.

Winter Weather -- Our Plan for Snow Days:
Winter Weather Day Expectations for Families
In the event of an inclement weather day or days, District 44 intends to utilize a remote learning day instead of an emergency day. This means all students will be provided remote lessons for that day or days.
The district will continue to follow its emergency notification procedures, meaning families will be notified as soon as possible of our need to utilize a remote learning day. We will try, to the best we are able, to provide as much notice as possible. However, families should be aware that in some circumstances this decision may not be communicated until the morning of, no later than 6 a.m.
Families will receive this notification in the form of a phone call to all contacts on file, an e-mail, text message, alert on the school and district websites and an alert via the local news stations. We also will post to our Facebook and Twitter accounts.
PTA MEETING: Tuesday, February 16th, 7:00 p.m.
Our next WHS PTA Meeting is Tuesday, February 16th at 7pm via Google Meets. We invite everyone to attend and learn more about the PTA and what is happening at school.
