SGA to Hold Blood Drive Nov 7
Counselor's Corner
Scheduling Starts Early This Year
The registration process has been updated from previous years. Counselors will be in your student's classrooms to go over graduation requirements, course offerings, and to develop an Individual Career and Academic Plan of study (ICAP) during the month of November. Information will be coming home with your student at the completion of the ICAP. Students will be assisted in entering their own course requests for the upcoming year by the end of December. Parents and students will be able to see their requests in Eschool's home access center. Students will also head into the summer break with their full schedule for next year.
Anti-Bullying Video Shown
On Thursday, October 25, an anti-bullying video was shown to all students during Tiger Time. An overview of this lesson and general bullying information is provided in the attached PDF. The video is available on the WHS Counseling website.
FAFSA Information (Juniors and Seniors)
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is now open. Seniors planning to attend postsecondary education should complete a FAFSA application. Information given at the Financial Aid Night is included in this PDF and is also posted on the Counseling Website.
