Finals Week is Here!
I wanted to remind you about the change in the mask policy that went effective today. Masks are now recommended, but not required. We are encouraging all of our students to be mindful of how they are feeling and to stay home if they are sick.
As a Leadership Team, we will be taking a deep dive into our master schedule build for next year in the upcoming weeks. All initial student numbers are in for our courses. We are always excited to see what our students signed up for and let that largely determine what classes we have for next year. One of the aspects of WHS I am so appreciative of, is all the course opportunities students have. We truly believe that students are most engaged in their learning when they can explore their areas of passion. And if you haven't had a chance to check out our new Career Pathways book or our Virtual Course book, we encourage you to peruse these on our Counseling Center website.
Let's make it a great week!
March 3rd will be an eLearning Day for Grades 9, 10, and 12!

Second Trimester Finals Information
Trimester 2 Final Exams will be Tuesday, February 15th through Thursday, February 17th and will follow this schedule.
Bus transportation will be provided for students at the end of testing each day and students will have the opportunity to pick up a grab and go lunch on Wednesday and Thursday. Please note that parent pick-up will be at door #9 in the athletic wing and door #32 in the new wing.
Please remember there are NO EARLY DISMISSALS during final exams.
Also be aware that final exams are 15% of the trimester grade instead of 20% as indicated in the handbook.
If your student will be gone for any reason, please contact Assistant Principal Denver Wade at waded@wws.k12.in.us to make arrangements. Please understand we do not allow students to take finals early with the exception of extreme medical circumstances.
Finally, don’t forget Friday, February 18th will be a staff workday with no school for students. However, the Testing Center will be open that day for make up finals from 9 am - 3:30 pm. Let’s ROCK these finals, Shamrocks!
Dance Marathon 2022
Our sixth annual WHS Dance Marathon, benefiting Riley Hospital for Children, is coming up on Saturday, 2/26 from 5-10pm. ALL students are invited to attend this event, where they can play volleyball, basketball, dodgeball, video games, or even sing some karaoke, play backyard games, or learn more about the incredible Riley kids and families in our community. We will be in the MPIF and the main gym, and it should be an amazing night! The cost is $10, and students can sign up via this link. We are taking donations for snacks, too, if you are interested in helping. Simply click this link to donate snacks. Are you interested in helping us out that evening as a volunteer / chaperone?
