WHS Parents and students,
HAC has been turned on for WHS so that students can see their schedules for the 22-23 school year. Due to class overcrowding and other factors, all schedules may still be adjusted therefore a student's schedule still may change. Please understand, these schedules ARE NOT FINAL. We are making these available so that parents can make use of them for the Tax Free weekend for school supplies. We are working hard to place students in the classes they need/requested for the 22-23 school year. This is a delicate balancing act that is still ongoing.
There will be no schedule changes during open house. Students that would like a schedule change must follow the instructions that will be emailed to them by the end of next Friday, August 12th. Per the student handbook, schedule changes will begin on Tuesday, August 16th and will conclude by the end of the day on Monday, August 22nd.
Here is the link for the school supply list.
