Dear Wall High School students, families, and staff:

Students have submitted course requests for the 25-26 school year, and WHS Counselors will be meeting with students in March to finalize course requests. If you have questions about the scheduling process or course requests, please reach out to your child's school counselor.

Please note that the mandatory NJ Graduation Proficiency Assessment (NJGPA) will be administered to all 11th graders each morning Monday, March 10th through Thursday, March 13th. Due to testing, Block 1 is extended each morning and Block 2 is dropped. Block 3 though the end of the day are unchanged. Please click here to view the bell schedule for each morning. All 11th grade students must bring their fully charged school Chromebook to school each morning for the assessment.

11th graders will receive notice of testing locations from their English teachers this week. Morning Vocational students will attend their Vocational Programs in the mornings, and will take NJGPA after lunch at 11:30am at WHS.

Please consider joining us for our Parent Advisory Council (PAC) meetings. These meetings will offer you a chance to hear information regarding school programs and other important information directly from the High School Administration. The PAC meeting schedule can be found here. Our next meeting will be on March 19, 2025 at 9am.

Our WHS students visited all four elementary schools to read to our elementary students and share their love of books! They also had fun playing Rock, Paper, Scissors. What a wonderful way to inspire the next generation of readers!

WHS Dance Club students took a field trip to Broadway Dance Center, one of New York City's premier dance studios. During their visit, students had the opportunity to take a class in a dance style of their choice, learn from new teachers and choreographers, experience a professional training environment, and enhance their dance resumes.

Please be advised, WHS will not accept food deliveries from services such as DoorDash, Grubhub, Uber Eats, etc. for students in our school. While we understand the convenience these services provide, they create significant disruptions within our main office. More importantly, allowing outside food/lunch deliveries raises concerns about the safety and security of our students and staff.

Please note: Parents and guardians are still permitted to drop off lunch for students who may have forgotten their meals. However, we ask that you coordinate these drop-offs directly through our main office to ensure a smooth process.

Thank you for your understanding and support as we prioritize the well-being and security of our school community.

Mr. Davis
