PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
November 4, 2022
Dear Walnut Hills High School Families:
These past few weeks have been a whirlwind of celebrations! We started the second quarter, participated in BLINK with sponsorship from the Alumni Foundation, held the annual Boogie Bash for our junior high students, watched the Senior Halloween Costume Contest, sent the Girl’s Tennis Team to the state tournament and are sending off senior, Gianni Allwein to the state cross country meet. Thank you to everyone who has helped support our community and make all of these events possible! As we look forward to next week, remember there will be no school on Tuesday, November 8th or Friday, November 11th. Have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
John Chambers

Important Reminders
Early Dismissal Procedure
Walnut Drop off, Pick up and Dismissal
Blair Circle Morning Traffic
We cannot thank you enough for helping to make the morning arrival flow smoothly! As a reminder, vehicles utilizing the Blair Circle drop-off for 7:30 AM morning arrival please be advised that when you enter Blair Circle, you continue to move forward around the circle until the car in front of you has stopped. Once your vehicle is in the circle area and all cars in front of you have stopped, please have your rider(s) begin to unload. We ask that your students be ready to exit the vehicle in a timely manner as a courtesy to those in the traffic line. Please do not drop off your students before entering the Blair Circle or near the Arts & Science building doors. We appreciate your continued cooperation in making sure the flow of traffic is consistent, efficient, and safe for our families and students.
Blair Circle Afternoon Traffic
We thank you in making the dismissal process safe and efficient for our families. As a remainder, for families that are using Blair Circle to pick up your student(s) at 3:00 PM dismissal. Please be advised that you need to fully pull your vehicle into the circle area and continue moving forward around the circle until all traffic ahead of you has stopped. Keep your vehicle close to the sidewalk curb. Once you have your student(s), you may safely proceed out of the circle area and out onto Blair Avenue. No traffic from Blair Circle will be entering the Gilbert Avenue/Jr High Gymnasium traffic circle. The visitor parking area of Blair is off limits for pickup traffic in the afternoon. Thank you again for your help!
