Student schedules have been posted in Powerschool
WHS Material Distribution
WHS will be distributing textbooks and other materials to students for the 2020-21 school year on Thursday, 9/17, Friday 9/18, and Monday 9/21.
Please arrive for your scheduled time based on the schedule below.
Instructions for materials pickup:
Drive into the Teacher’s Parking Lot behind the school, follow the cones, and get in line. Stay in your car.
Please write your student’s full name, in large print, on a piece of paper and hold it up to the window. A staff member will read your student’s name and retrieve their materials. At this time the staff member will also collect the completed and signed forms (Free and Reduced Lunch Application, Chromebook contract, and Health Forms) from a previous mailing. You will then receive a bag containing your materials.
If you are walking please follow the instruction of the staff when you arrive. We suggest that if you are walking to bring a backpack or a suitcase with wheels since the textbooks are heavy.
Please maintain social distance and wear a mask.
We are also requesting that you return any materials from the 2019-2020 school year, including textbooks by Monday 9/14. Any incoming 9th grader that still has a Chromebook from Middle School should also return it by Monday 9/14. You will receive a new Chromebook when you receive your new materials. Materials may be returned to the high school from 8:30-3:00pm, Monday thru Friday, by ringing the doorbell at the main entrance.
