Today the first issue of the The Echo was released. Special thank you to Mrs. Larson and her students for all their hard work. 

October Students of the Month 

Soft freeze on the budget 
If you have not already heard, all PO's are on hold and need a justification written up to even be considered.  Understand that even if you were counting on something later in the year that you always did with a PO, it probably will not happen this year.  

This week
Monday 11/20 - Hypnotist Show sponsored by the Student Council (If you want a good laugh stop by tonight at 7pm in the Little Th)
Tuesday 11/21 - STRIDES Cafe 
Wednesday 11/22 - Club Pictures (Cafeteria) See your Google Calendar for the schedule 

Minimum Day Schedule for Wednesday (Day 3) 

Reminder - Homework Free Break - This is not only for students.  Teachers use the next three days to get any grading, paperwork done before Wednesday at 1 pm.  Use your time in school and take the four day weekend for yourself and your family. 

Have a great Thanksgiving and enjoy your break!!!

WHS Staff News - Week of 11/6

We will never know if we hit the 325 mark for positive calls/emails for the week; however, I heard from many of you that the experience is as rewarding for the parent receiving the positive message as it is for the teacher making the call/email. I know the calls I made put a smile on my face when I heard the reaction of the parent on the phone. For those of you that took the time, I thank you.  If you didn't get to it last week, it's never too late.

Good Read (Take 5 minutes, it will be well worth it for our students)

This event is in conjunction with the Staff Sergeant Joseph D'Augustine Memorial Fund
