WHS Dress Code-WHS policy requires common sense, decency and safety with regard to dress.  The reason for this policy is to build and reinforce work habits and differentiate school time from any other time.  School dress standards set a tone, which reinforces the learning environment.   Students are to observe modesty, appropriateness and neatness in clothing and personal appearance. Halter tops, short shorts, mini skirts, spaghetti straps, strapless, bare feet, bare chest, bare stomach, bathing suits, and see-through clothing are not acceptable for regular classroom attire.  Appropriate length for shorts and skirts is longer than mid-thigh.

Senior Award’s Night Slide Show-Parents and/or Seniors please send a maximum of five (5) pictures to ASB advisor, Jim Reed, at jim.reed@washougalsd.org . Please send as soon as possible. The pictures can range from baby, elementary, middle, high school or just hanging out with friends. We want everyone to be included as this is one of the highlights during Senior Awards Night on June 13th at 6:30 pm.

Biology and Math EOC-The EOC exams will be given Thursday and Friday (June 13 & 14) during the morning.  If you are interested in finding out more about the exams please visit the following sites.  Teachers are currently working on the review plan for all students eligible for the tests.  In review, students who are currently enrolled in Biology, Algebra and Geometry will be testing as well as students who have not met standard.



2013-14 Master Schedule-We are now moving to the next step in our master schedule building process which involves looking at all of the conflicts that exist. During this phase, we will be talking with student(s) when a conflict exists in their schedule.  A conflict is when two desired classes are offered during the same period.  Our goal is always to create a schedule that meets the needs of our students.  We are still hopeful that schedules for next year will be completed by the first week of June.
