WHS Staff News - Week of 9/8/15


Lets make it a great week! Hopefully today and tomorrow will be the last blast of summer heat and we can look forward to some Fall-like weather. Sports teams are kicking off their season this week.  All athletic schedules can be found on the Rschool website.   If you have the time, stop by a game or two and support out student-athletes.

At this point, all students should have access to their GAFE account.  As a reminder, Gmail is disabled for students until we distribute the Chromebooks.  If a student has any issues with their Login or Password, you can send them to me.  

Grade Level Meetings will happen this week.   Please take attendance then walk your class to the Little Theater.  If you have a split class, then just send the students for that grade level after attendance is taken.  Teachers are more than welcome to stay, but feel free to use the time for yourself.  I would encourage new staff to sit in on at least one of the meetings.  

Seniors - Tuesday, Period 2
Freshmen - Tuesday, Period 9
Sophomores - Wednesday, Period 2
Juniors - Wednesday, Period 4

You can expect an emergency drill sometime this week, so please be sure you have reviewed fire drill, lockdown, and evacuation procedures with all of your classes.  Double check that you have a key for all of the rooms you are assigned to.  If you are missing a key, Mrs. Doheny has extra keys to hand out.  For the safety of everyone, please keep all classroom doors locked and use the magnetic strip to allow students to come and go.
