Our ASB kids placed kindness mirrors around campus on Wednesday in honor of World Kindness Day (November 13th). Students took a pic, tagged ASB on social media, and were entered in a raffle.

Redeemable prizes included:

- Discounts on WHS merch

- A free vintage spirit shirt

- Free snacks/drinks from the ASB store

- Free tickets to a game or play

… and more!

The purpose of World Kindness Day, as outlined by the World Kindness Movement, is “to highlight good deeds in the community focusing on the positive power and the common thread of kindness which binds us.” As we hit the home stretch of the semester, we want to take a moment to recognize kindness, connection, empathy, and coming together as a family.

This semester Ms. Takahashi’s AP Art History students took part in the Living Picture Contest. ⁣⁣⁣

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.
