Huge shout-out to Student Council for all their hard work with Homecoming Week! From the SENIOR WIN at powder puff to the pep rally to our LARGEST CROWD yet for a flick on the field to our BIG WIN against FZE at our football game to OVER 1,000 STUDENTS dancing the night away last night, it was a great week! We had 30 staff members volunteer their time to help us chaperone the dance last night. Thank you all for making it a memorable week!

Just a reminder this Saturday, October 5 at 9 am, there is a WSD Homecoming Parade starting at Holt and traveling down Pearce to the American Legion Hall. Feel free to join us! We have lots of candy and love to see all the orange and blue in the crowd!

An MRA (Measurable Results Assessment) survey was sent out to all students, staff, and parents. We use this data for our school improvement planning each year as a guide for achieving targeted results in leadership, culture, and academics. It is important that we receive feedback from as many stakeholders as possible.

Please take a few minutes to complete the following survey depending if you are a student, staff member, or family member. Your feedback is important to us. Thank you in advance!

• MRA Survey (student)
• MRA Survey (staff)
• MRA Survey (family)
