WHS students.... We are asking that everyone turn their computer into ANY charging station in the building by Friday, 12/20, before leaving the building for Winter Break. If you are a student that is taking an online Winter class, you will be able to keep you computer over the break, by signing it out in the main office. The Instructional Technology (computer) department will be doing an inventory of computers during the break- which means that any and all devices need to be in the charging stations to be accounted for. Beginning with Semester 2- at the end of January- class computer sets will be placed in classrooms where computers are used. There will be computers, chargers, and stations placed in certain classrooms- and students will have access to them as needed in the classrooms. Those students that need to keep a device on them at all times- for online coursework, homework, projects, etc. will be required to sign their device and charger out, and become physically and financially responsible for that device. More to come on this, but we wanted to get the email out so that students can start to plan and prepare for the slight changes. Mrs. Hunt

Please see the attached picture for information on an upcoming parenting class.

Auditions for Willy Wonka are coming up after Winter Break! See the attached flyer for a link to sign up!
