WHS Staff News - Week of 9/6/21

We are off and running to start the 21-22 school year! I know we are all adjusting back to full classrooms, longer days, packed hallways but just take it class by class, day by day and remember your purpose/why!

I started to look at your "Change One Thing" requests and will start working on them this week. Thank you for the ideas and feedback. I am looking forward to the process of making these request happen! This will not happen over night, but I will get to every card. 

A few items

No Wednesday meeting this week. I am working on the working Wednesday schedule and will push out this week.

We are holding a 9th Grade Parent Orientation on Thursday 9/9/21 at 6:45pm via Zoom. The teachers that are involved with this already know who they are.

I have a blog post going out to parents today at 11:30am.  9th Grade Parent Orientation

Moe's of Mahwah Teacher Appreciation
Moe’s appreciates the teachers at your school and wants to welcome them back with a BUY ONE GET ONE FREE offer for any menu item (sorry meal kits and catering excluded) starting today through Wednesday, September 15th.

FYI - We are not using QR codes for the bathrooms this year.

Positive Referrals @ WHS
Warrior Pins are available! Please use this form to recognize a student that demonstrated outstanding character and should be recognized for their actions.

Grade Level Meetings

We will hold grade level meetings later this week and next during lunch. Meetings will start at 11:40.  

Grade 9 - Wednesday 9/8

Grade 10 -Thursday 9/9

Grade 11 - Monday 9/13 

Grade 12 - Monday 9/13 during period 8. (1:59 - 2:58pm)  

These meetings will be added to the Calendar 

Picture Day - Wednesday 9/15 

We will be running a Special Bell Schedule. Same as the first day. 

*I know block one is longer then the other classes.  I need to adjust that schedule for the future and balance out the length of periods. 

Duty List 

Right now, the duty list is vague with the exception of locker-room duty, study hall and Media Center.  That is going to change at some point. With Mr. Schultz filling in for the Tech Ed Teacher (Mr. Blatt) he is not available for the sub hall. So, if Donna needs to cover classes over the next few weeks, we will be pulling from the duty list. Until further notice, when you have a duty period please work at a high top table so we have a presence in the hallways.
