WHS Staff News - Week of 4/29

I hope everyone had a great week off. Let's all work together to finish the school year strong. Memorial Day weekend will be here before you know it and then graduation. We can do this!!!

Welcome Karen Massaro to WHS! Karen is taking on the leave replacement postion in the Physical Education Department.  


Over Spring Break 
24 additional speakers were added around the building.  All bathrooms now have speakers in them and additional speakers were mounted around the hallways. 

The four exterior gym doors were all replaced and look great. 

The bathrooms in the Art Wing are being renovated.  The floors were done over the break and the entire bathroom will be updated over the next week or two.  The plan is for the senior wing bathrooms to be renovated over the summer. 

The company, CM3, who handles our cameras/security around the building finished wiring the doors and the areas where strobe lights will be installed. Hopefully over the next few weeks all the work will be completed and the swipe access and strobes will be fully up and running.

WHS Staff News - Week of 4/1/19


I know we all need a recharge.  It's coming. 

Its April 1st, 4th marking period starts on Monday and we have three weeks to spring break.  I know it's been a long stretch, but I see how hard we are working as a staff. Stay strong, stay focused and stay motivated for our students!

I did a "recap"from our last meeting on 3/20. I hope this answers some of the questions that came up in the meeting, as well as gives everyone additional ideas related to security around the building.  The presentation was shared via email.

End of 3rd marking period communication with parents ... Make sure you are communicating with parents so there are no surprises. Good and bad news should be shared. 

 The week ahead

We have a full staff meeting on Wednesday, 4/3.  We will continue to prepare for DLC's.
All crossover teachers should attend the middle school testing meeting first and then come to the HS meeting afterwards.

Thursday, 4/4, at 12pm - 9th Grade assembly (Part 3 of  the 3 part series, Journey of Self-Discovery)

What it's all about!!!

I wonder how many staff members will get this cartoon joke? 

Mr. Freeman gets his first varsity win yesterday as a head coach. Congratulations!
