Reminders for Arrival and Dismissal
Arrival to Campus
Upon your arrival to campus via car or bus, students will go straight to the cafeteria and receive their breakfast. They will immediately then take their breakfast to their 1st-period class to eat. Any students who choose to not eat breakfast will report directly to their 1st-period class. There will be no gathering in the hallways, courtyards, or lunch area. Face masks must be in place before exiting your car/bus. Make sure you are arriving early enough to be in class before our 7:20 start time.
Dismissal
All students are to report directly to either the bus or car loop following established one-way walking procedures. No gathering in common areas will be permitted. Please exit campus as quickly as possible upon completion of your school day. There will be no bell rang at dismissal. Students will be provided further instructions via announcements. Students are not allowed to hang out on campus after hours that are not under the supervision of an adult, if a student needs to wait for a ride after dismissal, they need to wait upfront by the red benches.
Mask Requirements at ALL times on Campus
- Remember, COVID-19 is primarily transmitted through speaking, coughing, or sneezing.
- The face covering must cover your nose and mouth completely.
- A face covering is required on all school buses, in all District buildings, in all school buildings and during all school-sponsored events and activities. This requirement is applicable to all students and to all employees, parents, and visitors entering the buildings and/or attending a school event. Athletes will be encouraged, but not required to wear face coverings during practice and play.
- Everyone is responsible for supplying their own face coverings. School buildings will be stocked with a limited number of disposable face masks for emergency situations only.
- The face covering should be put on upon arrival at any school or District building before exiting your vehicle in the parking lot. Face coverings must be worn on the bus.
- The face covering must remain in place while inside all buildings, including as you walk into the school or district building, when working in or walking through common areas such as hallways, stairways, and elevators, and whenever you are in any room, including classrooms, or enclosed area where people are present.
- Face covering may be removed outdoors where social distances of 6 feet is possible, when in a room alone with the door closed, and at the end of the day after exiting the building. Those students taking a bus must keep the mask in place until they have exited the bus.
- · Since eating and drinking with a face covering in place is not possible, it can be removed during meal or snack times. Social distancing of at least 6 feet is still recommended during these times.

Attention Juniors: Cambridge AICE English General Paper Exams
All juniors enrolled in Cambridge AICE English General Paper are scheduled to take the 2-day Cambridge AICE English General Paper on April 26 and April 28, 2021, at 7:30 am on the WRHS campus during the regular school day. This exam is being offered at no cost to students.
There are two components to the exam that are completed via paper in a timed setting:
- On Monday, April 26th, students will be assessed on how they use their knowledge and understanding of the topics and suggested areas to support their arguments and show understanding of a wide range of issues.
- On Wednesday, April 28th, the exam is focused on reading comprehension.
These exams are scheduled through Cambridge and there are no make-up’s or retakes. Students can’t be removed from the exam once testing has begun.
Cambridge International AS Level English General Paper develops a set of transferable skills. These include comprehension, constructing an argument, presenting views, and writing English coherently and persuasively. Some of the benefits of Cambridge AICE English General Paper include:
- Opportunity for elective college credit if the AICE exam is passed
- Exposure to rigorous and relevant curriculum
Students need to bring a photo ID for admission into the test.

Tardy Policy Reminder
Each quarter student’s tardy counts are reset back to zero. During the 3rd quarter, we have a large increase in tardies and consequences including After School Detention and Saturday Detention due to tardies. Students need to move quickly to their classes. For walkers, drivers, and students who get dropped off, please make sure that students arrive on campus early enough each day to get to their 1st period before the start of class at 7:20. We have lots of testing during the 4th quarter which will mean more students arriving 1st period, set your alarms early! Students are welcome to arrive as early as 7:00 AM and head to their 1st-period classes.
Below is the Tardy Policy:
- 1st offense: Reminder of policy by teacher
- 2nd offense: Warning by teacher
- 3rd offense: Lunch Detention assigned by the teacher, communication home (if LD is not served a referral will be completed)
- 4th+ offense: A referral will be completed by the teacher, consequences include After-School Detention and Saturday Detention
If your child has any questions about their travel time to a class, please have them talk with their teacher.
