8th Grade Parent Night. Mark your Calendars
8th grade Parent night will be January 13 at 6:30 PM at WNHS in the Auditorium. Students at NWMS will participate in a Course Elective Fair during the day at NWMS. During this fair, students will be able to talk to teachers and students from WNHS that are in all types of elective classes. That evening, in the auditorium at WNHS, there will be a presentation for parents about how to select your student's courses for the next school year. Department Chairs for each area, Coaches, and elective area teachers will also be available during our Course Fair following the presentation to answer questions for parents and students. There will also be special information presented for the parents about the Dual Degree Program and the 12 in 200 Program in D200. There will so much information shared. Please plan now to attend!
Notes from our Guidance Department
- Students were given a copy of their 2nd semester schedule today during their lunch period. Some students may have had their classes shifted in order to balance classroom sizes throughout the building. While we know that this is sometimes difficult, please understand that we must do this to ensure the best possible learning environment for all students.
- Students may request schedule changes during 2nd semester for elective courses that are only 1 semester long, or for courses where they received a D or an F. Please know that we cannot always accommodate these requests as they are based on space available and completion of graduation requirements. Students should go to the office before or after school, during lunch, or during a study hall. Parent signatures are required for a change.
- All students that are currently in the building have now submitted their course requests for the 2020-21 school year. If your student was absent, please be sure that they see their counselor in January to make their selections. If we cannot connect with your student, we will select courses for them based on the current class enrollments.
- 8th grade students will meet with their counselor to select classes at NWMS on January 14-17. Please help us by making sure your student is in attendance on these days!
- The holidays can be hard for some families. Shown below is a link to our Intervention Guide for WNHS. Please contact us should you need additional help for your family during our Break and we will do our best to help! https://tinyurl.com/WNHSintervention
