HSPE & Forecasting Week


2011 HSPE Writing Goal and Reading Goal - 90% students will meet proficiency 

Our first HSPE day (Writing Day 1) went very well.  The majority of our 10th graders were at school on time and appeared to take the test seriously, as they should because it is a graduation requirement! Any 10th or 11th graders who were not at school this morning and needed to be can take the Writing HSPE during summer HSPE which is August 8 & 9 at WHS.  Writing Day II will begin Wednesday morning at 7:55 am.  Reading takes only one day, Thursday, March 17.

During the morning periods, 9th graders forecasted for the 2011-12 school year during their science classes.  10th graders forecasted in the afternoon during their English classes.  In addition to forecasting 9th and 10th graders took an online survey in which they responded to questions about the effectiveness of Panther Time.  If time remained, we asked them to complete their educational plan within Career Cruising (careercruising.com).

Wednesday, March 16 will be HSPE Writing Day II and those 9th and 10th grade students who did not forecast will do so.  If you have any questions about the HSPE schedule for the next two days, please contact the office 954-3100.  If you have questions about your student forecasting for the 2011-12 school year, please contact your child's counselor.

Parents who are interested in sharing their thoughts about Panther Time, please do so at http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/WEB22BZTQ8Z7HM/.  If you are unable to access the survey, please go to the WHS website where you will find the link to the Parent Survey.
