Due to the snow days and delayed start to the semester, 1st semester report cards were mailed home on Friday, January 17th. 3rd Quarter Interims were sent home on February 6th. If you have any questions or concerns about your child's academic progress, please reach out!

Don't forget that WMS/WHS students will be released at 12:45 on February 28th. The early release will allow us to clear our buses and students from the WHS and WMS buildings and lots before District Wrestling Tournament participants and spectators begin arriving, ensuring the safety of our students. Denver and Holmes will release at their regular time on that day.

Our 11th graders will have the opportunity to take the ACT and 10th graders will take the PreACT on Tuesday, February 25th. Please help students arrive to school on time. Breakfast will be provided in the classrooms. Below is some information to help students prepare for this test.

Our goal is to meet with each and every family at WHS this school year.

What will this look like? Each family will get to meet with a teacher representative at one of the parent teacher conference nights this year. During this time, we want to discuss current academic goals and progress, activity involvement, interests, and plans for after high school. We also want to give you the opportunity to provide us with your feedback and suggestions.

If you have not already had a conference, please anticipate an invitation from a WHS staff member for a conference this year. We look forward to meeting with you on our campus and strengthening the partnerships between the school and home. If you would like to request a conference during the February 20th session, please fill out the following form.

Showing up for school has a huge impact on a student’s academic success. Even as children grow older and more independent, families play a key role in making sure students get to school every day and understand why attendance is so important for success in school and on the job.

Check out the following resources for information about positive attendance habits and what to do if your child is sick.
