The WJHS Panther Update

Principal's Letter
Hello Panther Family!
After my first full week as Principal, I am pleased to share that I have hit the ground running (sometimes literally!), and the transition has been very smooth.
I am excited and energized to continue working side-by-side with such an amazing staff. We have already begun our search for the Interim Assistant Principal position, and I am looking forward to this person joining our Panther Family.
We are creating a new bulletin board in our entry hall that will be our This is Us wall. Throughout this year, we would like to highlight photos of students, staff, and their families. For our first board, we would like to honor the military veterans in our Panther families. If you would like the special veteran in your family to be included on our wall, please send in a picture to the WJHS office by November 1st. These photographs will be displayed the week of Veteran's Day. To preserve your photos, we ask that you only send in a copy of the original. On the back of the picture copy, please print your student's name, the name of the veteran, the veteran's military branch, and years of service. We are truly honored to honor them.
Here is a look at next week's coming events:
Monday, October 11th, NO SCHOOL in observation of Columbus Day.
Wednesday, October 13th, please join Ms. Quattrone for Coffee & Questions with Q. at 6:30 pm in the WJHS Commons. The PTO meeting will follow at 7:00 pm, and babysitting by High School NHS students will be available.
Friday, October 15th, Picture Retakes. If your student is having retakes done, please send them with their original picture proofs. If your student missed the first picture day, please send them with the completed Lifetouch form.
