Reminders & Updates

Expanded Release Passes - Semester 2

In the November 2024 Family & Student newsletters, we shared an update regarding the WBSD Way Expanded Release Pass program for Semester 2. Students who have met all of the requirements for expanded release for the semester prior will be granted “early” WBSD Way Expanded Release Passes for the upcoming semester. This means that students who maintained eligibility for Semester 1 will be able to apply early for the second semester and avoid waiting the 2-week waiting period to get their passes. Students may pick up paper copies of the Expanded Release Form for Semester 2 in the Attendance Office beginning Wednesday, January 8.

Semester 1 Exam Reminders

Semester 1 Exams will take place Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday this week. Parents wishing to excuse their child from any of the study sessions or a period where they do not have a scheduled exam (i.e. a study hall or off hour), may do so by completing the Semester 1 Exam Absence Reporting Form or calling the Attendance Office at (262)335-5550.

Resume writing workshops will be held in the Career Readiness Center starting after winter break. The following dates and times have been scheduled:

January 28 from 7:15 - 7:45 a.m.
