Students can play an important role in keeping our campuses safe. If students witness potentially criminal behavior (violence, drugs, suspicious activity, etc.), speaking up can keep their friends safe and, in some cases, save lives. But speaking up is not always easy. Using P3 Tips, information can be anonymously shared with San Diego Crime Stoppers. P3 Tips is free, and the application can also be downloaded to personal cell phones (Apple or Android). The P3 Tips App is available on all GUHSD student Chromebooks, and an image of where it is located can be found here. Our District recently shared a video regarding P3 Tips in English, Spanish, and Arabic.

Come to the theater during lunch to sign up!

Stop by the theatre afterschool on Wed 8/21 for an informational session on our fall play, CLUE. Learn about monologue selection, resumes, and Wolf Pack Theatre participation both onstage and off.

Based on the iconic 1985 Paramount movie which was inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, Clue is a hilarious farce-meets-murder mystery. Led by Wadsworth – the Butler, Miss Scarlet, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock and Colonel Mustard race to find a killer as the body count stacks up. Clue is the comedy whodunit that will leave both cult-fans and newcomers in stitches as they try to figure out…WHO did it, WHERE, and with WHAT!

Please be looking for the Family Survey sent out by GUHSD to your email. To avoid your student being pulled from class in September, please complete this survey by August 31.

You are strongly encouraged to purchase Chromebook insurance as it may save you hundreds of dollars in future repair or lost fees. The start-of-year window for purchasing policies closes on September 27, 2024 so make time now to get coverage.

To purchase insurance, go to the on-campus Finance Office or online WHHS Web Store. If you have additional questions, see Ms. Sannwald in the library.

Have you bought your ASB sticker yet??? ASB stickers are on sale at the finance office or on the online web store for $30.

Go to the Finance Office if you already purchased to get it applied to your ID card.

MEDICATIONS & HEALTH CONDITIONS: To ensure we provide the best care and support for your child while they’re at school, it's important for us to be aware of any medications and health conditions they may have. If your child needs to have medications available on campus, please fill out the authorization form.

REMINDER: Students are NOT permitted to keep over-the-counter medications in their backpacks. Please utilize the nurse to administer any medication.
