Wait, my top banner sometimes looks different!
Our webpages are responsive, meaning our site is optimized for all devices. Whether you a visiting from a phone, tablet, desktop, or laptop, you will have the same great experience, no matter your screen size. On smaller screens, some of the top menu buttons shift and are available when you click Menu. If you are on a desktop, try adjusting the width of the browser and you'll see the content dynamically adjust. The webpage also displays differently based on the browser's Zoom setting.
For example, the top blue menu bar looks differently on a smartphone or tablet:
Top left logo
Translate
Student/Parent Quick Links
Staff Quick Links

Site Navigation
A page's web address - its URL - is automatically derived from its name. However, we've also given most pages custom URLs. So after schoolname.whps.org/ try entering a keyword. It will likely redirect you to exactly where you want to go. This makes for a more friendly url if you need to provide a link in print (paper newsletter, flyer, etc). For example, the following 2 urls go to the same great place, but the 2nd one is shorter:
Contact us if you have an idea for a custom redirect url that should be created to help visitors access a particular page!
