Class of 2015 Curriculum Night

Although the weather outside was frightful, the Curriculum Night was fantastic.  We had a great turnout last night for out Class of 2015 Curriculum Night.

300+ Students and Parents at Class of 2015 Curriculum Night

Christina Mackey presenting Graduation Requirements

The evening began with information presented by the WHS counselors, Christina Mackey and Owen Sanford. Students from Jemtegaard and Canyon Creek had visited WHS earlier in the day and had received  some information about graduation requirements and ARRPPP (Attendance, Respect, Responsibility, Punctuality, Preparedness & Participation) so they were able to answer several questions thrown out to the audience.

English, Fine Arts and CTE teachers sharing information with parents

Parents and students then moved to the commons where WHS teachers and staff were present to answer specific questions regarding their programs, meet next year's 9th graders and hopefully alleviate some concern about the transition from middle school to high school.

We had a breakout session in the auditorium starting at 7:40 to answer questions parents and students had after visiting with the teachers
Students from both middle schools will receive more forecasting information next week at their school, which will include their own curriculum guide and a forecasting sheet. Hopefully, these materials will make it home and be discussed.  Students will be forecasting at their school the last week of March.  If parents are interested in viewing what courses can be forecasted for, please visit: http://www.washougal.k12.wa.us/whs/departments/counseling.htm

Science, Foreign Language and Special Education teachers sharing information

I want to personally thank the students and parents for attending Curriculum Night.  Your enthusiasm, questions and feedback was tremendous.  I also want to thank the teachers and staff who were also there to represent all of the wonderful programs we offer.
