So Long September....Hello October!

Wow! It is amazing how fast time flies when you are having fun.  I thought I would provide a little synopsis of September for WHS.



*  179 students are enrolled in AP courses this semester.
*  250+ Student Athletes are competing for WHS this fall. 
*  82.5% 10th graders met standard on the 2011 HSPE Reading.
*  84.7% 10th graders met standard on the 2011 HSPE Writing.
*  52.8% 10th graders met standard on the 2011 HSPE Science.
*  49.5% 9th & 10th graders met standard on the 2011 End of Course Math 1 Exam.
*  77.2% 9th & 10th graders met standard on the 2011 End of Course Math 2 Exam.
*  Nearly 500 students participated in our Homecoming Dance.
*  100+ students and parents attended the Senior Parent Night.
*  Panther Football Team is 5-0.
*  Our enrollment includes approximately 890 students (# includes Running Start, Skill Center, Bridges Academy, etc).
*16 parents attended our the September Parent Advisory Council meeting.

All in all, I think we have had a descent start to the 2011-12 School Year.  Obviously, there are things
we can improve on and we are planning to do just that.

OCTOBER 


As we begin October, I have included some events occurring this month as well as some reminders.

*    PSAT Testing will be taking place from 7:55-11:10 at WHS on October 12.  This is for all 10th graders and 11th graders who want to take it again.  11th graders will need to pay to take it unless they qualify for Free and Reduced Lunch, then the test is free.

*    There will be no school on Friday, October 14.

*    Wednesday, October 19 will be an early release day.  Students are released at 11:25 AM.

*    Thursday, October 20 will be our last Picture Retake.  Retakes will take place in the commons throughout the day.

*    This fall, conference week is for parent and teacher- initiated conferences. Student-Led Conferences will take place in the spring. Fall Conferences will be the week of October 31.  Teachers will be available from 12:00-2:50 on Monday thru Thursday and Thursday night from 4:30 – 7:30 pm.
