WE DID IT!! Homecoming Week 2021 was GREAT! A HUGE "thank you" to ASB teacher Mr. Riego and Finance Tech Mrs. Herman, along with Assistant Principal Mr. Hoadley and the entire ASB class for making ALL of the activities for the week happen! We brought back to campus that lively Pack feeling! Thank you to all who participated in the carnival, assemblies, game and dance!

Hey Pack, just a reminder that this Friday October 29 is a Minimum Day schedule!

Need a copy of the bell schedule? Click HERE.

Halloween is a great time to have some fun, show school spirit, and connect as members of the Wolf Pack. On Friday, October 29 students may wear costumes to school if they choose to do so although there are no planned “spirit” events on campus for this day. To help our students enjoy the day in a safe, fun environment, please read THIS MEMO about costumes.

Thank you!

Are you interested in trying out for a sport this winter? Remember, you must be cleared before you can try out for a sport. Also, you will not be cleared IF you are ON the Loss of Privilege list.

The final chance for senior formal portraits is this Wednesday, October 27 in room Pack Den 2. Some appointments still remain, and you can sign up in Pack Den 2 at break. These free appointments take about 5 minutes. Seniors who are not photographed for the formal portrait will have their ID photos appear in the yearbook instead.

All Students: If you are interested in learning more about a career in the trades or apprenticeship programs after graduation, sign up in the Counseling office for the Trade and Apprenticeship Workshop. Dates are October 28th or November 4th from 3pm-4pm in College/Career Center (L-1).

Register today for one of the free Scholarship Nights webinars for students and families to learn more about the scholarship opportunities that Cal SOAP and the San Diego Foundation have to offer. The first webinar is Wednesday, October 27th from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm. The following webinars will be held on November 18th and December 9th also from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm.

Are you coming to our next home football game vs. El Capitan on October 29th? If you are, YOU MUST have a CURRENT WHHS student ID to enter the stadium and dance.

If you lost your ID or do not have one, go to the Finance Office to get a replacement. There will be no exceptions at the gate if you do not have a valid school ID.

Loss of Privilege (LOP) List: This exists to support the idea that our primary function is “Academics First” and that student behaviors and choices need to prioritize attendance and following school rules. Students may earn their way off of the LOP list through attendance at detention and / or Saturday school after talking with their Assistant Principal. They can also lose a privilege that was granted (i.e. serving Saturday School to be eligible to purchase a Dance Ticket, but then repeat actions (or new actions) that put them back on LOP so that attending Dance is no longer available to them and a dance ticket refund is issued).

See our Loss of Privilege Policy HERE.

West Hills students of all grades are encouraged to visit our Scholarships webpage listed on the Wolf Pack Website under the Counseling drop-down menu. It features new or ongoing scholarships that can offer funds for college-bound students to put towards tuition costs. Check out our monthly Scholarship Spotlight for at-a-glance info about great scholarships with approaching deadlines. This month, our spotlight showcases the College Jumpstart, Zombie Apocalypse, and the Coca-Cola Scholarships.

Students! After graduation, will you be attending a trade school, community college, or 4-year University? If your answer is yes, do you need money to help pay for it? If so, we would like to invite you to attend the Scholarship Club that is hosted by the Counseling Department. At the scholarship club, we will introduce you to scholarship opportunities and provide time to work on scholarship applications under the guidance of a counseling staff member. For additional information, please contact Ms. Womack in the Counseling Office. The club meets Mondays during lunch and period 7 in the College/Career Center (L-1) located across from the library.

College Application tutorials are every Tuesday and Wednesday from 2 - 3pm in our College/Career Center L-1 for all of October, November, and December. Be there!

We are happy to share our 2021-22 tutorial schedule for students who are seeking support and assistance in their academic subjects.

Please report to tutorial at the start of the period offered. Students will sign in at each session and these sign-in logs will be submitted to the main office at the conclusion of each week.

If you have questions on whether your student has attended tutorial, please contact an Assistant Principal Secretary at 619-956-0424 or 619-956-0425 or stop by the Administration office.

Asking for help is a sign of STRENGTH Wolf Pack!!
