From our WHS Health Office
We have recently had several reported cases of strep throat within the school. Please click HERE to see the information sheet from the DuPage County Health Department. Your child should be kept home from school if they are displaying any symptoms of strep throat, until they have seen a physician. Please contact the Health Office with any questions.

Student and Staff Engagement
The Student, Staff and Family Engagement Committee is excited to be rolling out several new ways to engage our Hammerschmidt community. In November, we will begin monthly recognition of students who are showing the 7 Habits, as well as those classes who are doing a great job at keeping their classrooms clean. Plans are also underway for both a WHS mini-library, and a family service night at Feed My Starving Children. We will also be publishing a school-wide newsletter each trimester designed to feature opportunities to engage with our WHS family.
