Zebra Nation,
Last full week and then two days before the Thanksgiving Break. (I am TRULY THANKFUL for each and every one of you!) ... Stay on top of your academics right up to the last day before the Break. You got this! We got you!
**Important Reminder - It was recently announced that there will be no school on Wednesday, 11/27. As a result of this calendar change, we will be rescheduling our Academic Letter, National Honor Society, and Upward Bound Ceremonies for after Thanksgiving. We will re-send out invitations with our new date and time upon our return from the Thanksgiving Break.
The WMHS Play was amazing! Congratulations to Ms. Sullivan, her Team, and to all of the Zebra's that did such a great job! Well done!
The annual WMHS Blood Drive is this Thursday. See below for those details.
WMHS Housekeeping:
Little uptick with our tempers and fighting here recently. WMHS will be a safe place for every staff member and student. Fighting / violence will not be tolerated. Students who choose to fight at WMHS, will receive a consequence to the max that we can enforce from the Student Code of Conduct, including a ticket, a fine, and court. *Also, students should not be "running to" a fight hyping it up, with their phones out filming it, causing a major disruption in our school. If students choose to do this, they will also receive a consequence based on our Student Code of Conduct. We are STRONGER TOGETHER! Let's keep WMHS SAFE TOGETHER!
Reminder - as the weather is getting colder. There are no hoods on heads inside WMHS and no full face coverings on inside WMHS. This is for the safety of everyone inside WMHS as we have to be able to quickly identify who is in the building at all times.
- Lunches - students are not to be moving about / playing around during the lunches. Students need to be in a central area and should be sitting for the majority of their lunch. Students cannot leave the cafeteria during their scheduled lunch without a pass from an adult, or if they are called down by the main office.
- Also, there are no food deliveries to WMHS. For the same safety reasons listed above, we can’t have outside people showing up and coming into WMHS. Don’t have food delivered and never open a door for a stranger that could allow them access inside WMHS. Again, this is for the safety of everyone inside WMHS.
- Student Parking - students please make sure that you are parking in the student lot by the soccer field. You should not be parking in staff parking spots, or in no parking zones.
Have a great week!

Working from reference photos, students penciled their self portraits. A grid overlay supported accuracy in location of features relative to one another. Attention was given texture, shadow, and proportionality.
Students experienced a meaningful opportunity to provide peer-to-peer feedback on their pieces. With their own version of the evaluation rubric, students examined each other's portraits. A word bank supported the use of discipline-specific vocabulary.
Peer-to-peer feedback is a great technique within the formative assessment process to support student learning.
On Wednesday 11/13 our juniors and senios participated in a Powder Puff football and cheer event. The juniors class girls won the powder puff game and the senior class boys won the cheer competition. Looking for even bigger things next year. Thank you to all the staff members who helped and came out to support our kids.
