March Conferences
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 this last session in March, please fill out the following form.

National School Counseling Week
National School Counseling Week is Feb. 6-10. We are excited to recognize the work of our school counselors, Mr. Williams, Mrs. Groves, and Mrs. Martin.
Arrival Time
Just a reminder that the HS building doors open at 7:38 for student to enter the building. Please plan accordingly for the weather conditions.
Clean Sweep
We will continue hallway sweeps this semester. This means we will ask all teachers to close their door and allow administrators and hallway staff to speak with any students who are found in the hallways during that time. The goal of these sweeps is to help ensure that students are in their assigned classes in order for students to engage in academic instruction. Also, being able to manage and monitor student movement throughout the building is a large part of school safety. Thank you for your understanding and support.
Senior Pictures
Senior portraits for the yearbook are due by FEBRUARY 10.
Photos should be printed out wallet size.
Write the student name and phone number on the back of the photo. Photos should be turned in to Mr. Reed in the WHS Library.

Portraits should be in a portrait direction, not landscape.
If you do not submit a photo we will use your Lifetouch photo if you had one taken here at school. If no photo is submitted and you did not take a photo with Lifetouch here at school, you will not be included in the portrait section of the yearbook or in the news journal graduation edition.
