Calculators Required for PSAT Testing!!!
8th Grade Parents,
PSAT testing will occur on Wednesday, October 13th. There is a math section on the test where they are allowed to use a calculator. Your child is being asked to bring their own calculator, but College Board is very strict about what calculators they allow follow the link below for the acceptable calculators listed the PSAT Manual.
We will have a limited number of TI-Nspire graphing calculators available to be reserved through your child’s teacher. Either you or your child can request a calculator and that calculator will be provided on testing day, in their testing room. Four function calculators will be available for any child that does not bring their own calculator or reserve a calculator through their teacher.
If you have any questions, you can contact the WJH Testing Coordinator, Karla Engelbrecht, by email at karla.engelbrecht@lcisd.org.

New TIK TOK challenge
I have been informed this afternoon of a new challenge in which students are challenged to SLAP a STAFF MEMBER. Please make sure you are talking with your students about choices and why participating in this challenge would not be a wise choice.
ANY student that slaps a staff member may be faced with a 45 day ALC placement.
Looking for DADS to volunteer!!!
The idea of P.O.P (Protect Our Pride) is a group of fathers that want to continue to be involved in our kids education and also help out when the school needs extra hands. The goal would be a group of positive parental role models for our kids. Our main goal will be to assist with car rider line in the morning and afternoon to start off with. Please stop by the POP table at Open House to sign up!

COVID Notification Emails:
WJH will continue to follow LCISD COVID Protocols by pushing out the email notifications that you are currently receiving when a positive and/or close contact case is reported by a parent. Please understand that we cannot reveal a student's identity, nor specific class, due to confidentiality. We are not contract tracing this year, so there is no quarantining. I will say, that many of these cases we are reporting are from parents doing their due diligence of reporting when their student was exposed or tested positive outside of the school. Many of these students did not even report back to campus. We appreciate these parents helping us stay as safe as possible at school. Please note, that if your child shares multiple classes with a certain student, you may receive MULITIPLE emails.
Need a school locker???
