Halloween is approaching and as always, we will allow students to rock their Halloween costumes on Monday, October 31. Below are some guidelines we must follow to ensure student safety:

• Students are PROHIBITED from wearing costume masks that cover their entire face.
• Make-up or face paint should be minimal. Staff needs to still be able to EASILY identify a student wearing make-up or face paint.
• Weapons, or replica weapons are PROHIBITED.
• Costumes need to adhere to the school dress code. (NO costume should be ethnically or culturally offensive, gang-related in any manner or form, sexually explicit or offensive, in poor taste, illegal or drug, alcohol or tobacco-related)
• Lastly, BE RESPECTFUL AND RESPONSIBLE!

If you have any questions regarding your costume, please see your GLC before Halloween for guidance and approval.

Thank you for your cooperation Mustangs! We look forward to a fun and safe Halloween on campus!

Well done to the WHS Drama department for putting on a fantastic live performance of "Clue" last weekend. This thought-provoking production was filled with emotion and edge-of-your-seat moments by our WHS actors.

Shoutout to Drama Director Jamie Roberts! Both she and the student actors and crew put on an amazing show that was very well received by the audience.

It is our goal to provide you with the most dynamic high school experience while preparing you for your post-secondary goals. GO MUSTANGS!

Students must attend every class, every day, and be on time. In order to receive daily credit, students are to bring all necessary materials to class. Students will not be excused from class to get materials. Homework and class assignments are to be completed on time and to the best of the student’s ability. Only behaviors befitting the learning environment are acceptable. Students are to comply with all reasonable requests of any staff member. Dress code will be enforced.

Please remember that attendance counts, every period, every day. Students will be marked absent if they are not at the beginning of each period to verify their attendance.

All single-period absences will need to be reconciled through the attendance office by the student. If marked absent, students will receive an email from the attendance office notifying them that they have been marked absent. The notification will include the date and period of the absence. The student will need to contact the Attendance Department to make any necessary corrections to their individual period attendance. For full-day absences, a parent/guardian must contact the attendance office by the end of the day.
