WHS Staff News - Week of 9/13/21


Mid-week post but better late then never. Last week and on Monday, Mr. Clancy and I had grade level meetings and one of the areas that we covered was the dress code. It seems to be all everyone wants to talk about. I had a great conversation with a few teachers yesterday about the subject and there will be more conversations to come.  Those conversations will also include students. 
Some of you may think this topic should be very cut and dry but unfortunately it's not. Dress codes in general are under scrutiny around the country because some people see them as discriminatory or sexist. Google it if you don't believe me.  So everyone knows, Mike and I are having conversations with students and parents about this topic, but understand it's a tricky subject right now.  
Don't let this consume you and take away from you staying positive and controlling what you can control. 


Picture Day - Wednesday 9/15
We will be running a Special Bell Schedule. Same as the first day. All staff should have their picture taken for the yearbook.  Pictures will be setup in the gym. 

DLC Time - All department should meet today to discuss 21-22 Department goals for the PDP's. 
The DLC coordinators and I are working on a complete Working Wednesday Schedule and will post next week.  

Thursday 9/16 - No School   

Back to School Night - 9/30/21 
On Thursday I found out that all schools in the district will have their virtual Back to School Nights on Thursday, 9/30. 
Like last year, each teacher will need to create a short video for the website I created to organize the event. Please review the BTSN doc for what I need to be completed by Tuesday, 9/28.  

Delayed Opening Schedule for Monday, 10/11
