WHS Weekly Phone Message

Good evening, Wheatmore High School. This is Principal Johnson.

I’m pleased to share some positive updates regarding the state measures used for our school’s report card. We’ve seen improvements in several key areas compared to last fall’s testing and attendance.

Our fall semester attendance rate reached an impressive 93.8%. Additionally, proficiency levels in English II, Math I, and Math III have increased since last fall. The fall administration of the ACT Work Keys also showed a significant improvement over the previous year. I want to commend our students and staff for their combined efforts in achieving these academic and attendance goals.

First semester report cards will be distributed to all students on Thursday, January 30. Please ensure you ask your student for this important document.

Seniors that are CTE concentrators will continue their WorkKeys training this week. Why are WorkKeys skills important? WorkKeys stress skill development important for every type of employment. The abilities to learn, listen, communicate, work in teams, and solve problems are important assets for any employee, regardless of career choice. They are also extremely important in today's colleges. Studies show that occupations requiring higher skills in math, locating information, and reading pay higher entry-level salaries. We have challenged this group of seniors to reach the silver or better on this assessment. All part of our Strive for 95 initiative.

Every student should have received a 4.5 week interim report on Thursday. Please ask your student for this important academic progress report.

Parents, we are working with each student on Monday during SWAG analyzing their academic performance and attendance. I need for parents to ask to see their student’s grades weekly. Students can access their data tracking google sheet from home on the school provided Chromebook.

Attendance is very important and we have a long way to go before the end of the semester. Parents, after 5 unexcused absences students may not receive credit for their course due to excessive unexcused absences. Make sure your student is present each day and when they need to be absent for a doctor’s visit, they bring a note within two days of being absent.

Parents, each student has been registered to participate in Membean, an online vocabulary program. Students will be assigned a grade during their 2nd block class for doing their membean each week.

Contact Mrs. Ivey if you have questions.

We have scheduled the first face-to-face ACT BootCamp for 100 juniors on Tuesday, October 18th, from 8:30 - 3:30. This event is not required and is first come first serve.

Wheatmore has added a COVID 19 self reporting form to our webpage. If you believe you have COVID 19, or are experiencing symptoms, stay home and complete the online reporting form. A school administrator will be in contact with you later in the day. Thank you for your assistance with keeping everyone healthy.

Yearbooks are on sale for $80. You may purchase your copy through the Jostens website or in the front office.

Seniors Ads are also available. The deadline to have the ad submitted is December 10th. The ad can be submitted online through the Jostens website or by contacting Mrs. Eberle at ceberle@randolph.k12.nc.us

Parents, we are noticing many students bringing blankets into the school and carrying them around to all classes. This presents several issues with safety, hygiene and cleanliness. Our building is adequately heated and if your student is appropriately dressed, this item is unnecessary. Please work with us to ensure your student is dressed appropriately and blankets are not brought to school.

Additionally, we are having many students arriving late to school, both student drivers and students being dropped off by adults. This is causing issues with class starting on time and students getting the necessary instruction at the beginning of the class. Again, please speak to your student driver about this concern.

Lastly, we continue to address hats and hoodies with our students. We have allowed students to wear these items on Friday as an incentive to not wear them the other four days. If we fail to see an increase in compliance, this privilege will be suspended until compliance can be achieved.

Thank you and have a great evening.

Thanks and have a great evening.

Good evening, this is Principal Johnson with an announcement concerning student pick up at the end of the school day.

As many of you are experiencing delays in picking up your student, several things can be done to expedite the pick up process.

One, encourage your student to actively seek your vehicle and be ready to leave at the end of the day.

Secondly, I have attached a map of our parking lot. If parents that arrive early to pick up their student would park in the marked area, text your student your location and park in that general area each day, you will experience less delays.

The car rider line needs to stay to the right in order for others to by-pass cars that are waiting for students to leave the building or are not actively seeking their pick up vehicle.

If you get to the front of the line and your student is not waiting on you and ready to get in the car, please pull up and find a parking spot, text your student.

Many of the delays are a result of students not being ready to be picked up at the end of the school day.

Thank you for continuing to work with us on this procedure. Your safe driving on our campus is greatly appreciated.

Good evening parents and students of Wheatmore High School,

Today we had a tremendous turnout for Google Meets and the first day of the second semester in virtual form. I appreciate all the students that connected with their teachers and got their semester started on the right foot.

Just as a reminder, students that are not in attendance face to face must complete the attendance task each remote school day. Correct attendance is critical for school funding and impacts teacher made exams. Please remember, if a student misses two days or less from any class that has a teacher made exam, they will be exempt from that exam at the end of the semester.

Additionally, if you are planning to participate in athletics, daily attendance is a must. The NCHSAA requires students to be in attendance each day missing no more than 13.5 days to remain eligible throughout the school year. Don’t lose your eligibility due to your failure to sign in each day for remote attendance.

Teachers have scheduled Google Meet sessions daily for students to support their learning. Please make sure you are taking advantage of this. Most teachers are holding class period meetings. Again, make this a priority early in the semester and budget your time to meet with your teachers daily.

Parents, like last semester you can be a Canvas observer and monitor your students progress. With both the Parent portal and Canvas observer, all parents should know exactly how each student is progressing on a daily basis.

If you have any questions, please call the school.

Week of 1/17

Good evening everyone, this is Principal Johnson.

As a reminder, Monday January 18 is a holiday, Tuesday January 19 is a teacher work day, Wednesday January 20 is the first day of the second semester and a remote instruction day. Thursday January 21 is the first day of face to face instruction for B day students.

Students will receive their second semester class schedule through their student email accounts on Monday, January 18. Students and parents should also be able to view the second semester schedule through Parent/ Student portals.

Parents and students please be aware that the new semester facilitates the need to pay student fees. Student fee invoices will be emailed to all students beginning the week of January 25. Please make paying these fees a priority. Student fees help fund the programs that provide your student the opportunity to excel in their academic endeavors.

Students schedule change requests will not be considered due to the need to reschedule fall failures for seniors, EOC failures and limits due to social distancing requirements.

Students that missed their Math I, Math III, English II and Biology EOC final exams due to being quarantined will receive notice of the exam make-up schedule.

Senior parents if you purchased a senior ad through the main office please send in your pictures to the yearbook staff by January 29th.
