Greetings Gosling Families!
It has been another great week at WHS! Be sure to continue to monitor your student's progress in Skyward to ensure they are on track for a successful 1st trimester. As always, reach out to your student's teachers early and often if you have any concerns or ways WHS staff can support your student. Please review the information below for important updates!
Have a great weekend!

- STUDENTS THAT NEED TO BE PHOTOGRAPHED: If students have not been photographed this school year, please be prepared to have a photograph taken on retake day. All students must be photographed so they receive an ID Card.

A replacement package will be printed and delivered to the school with your student’s new image. If you did not purchase photos from the original picture day and want a re-take, please have the student’s picture taken.
STUDENTS WHO WANT TO ORDER SCHOOL PICTURES FOR THE FIRST TIME: If you would like to order school pictures for the first time, please have your student stop in the Main Office to pick up a picture proof from September.
