Marauder Moments
Williamson High School Newsletter - September 2019
Williamson Families,
Happy Back to School!
We are excited to show off so many new things this year, from our new bathrooms to the auditorium to the cafeteria and our stadium. It is all coming together. We hope to see you at Open House Tuesday, September 10 from 6-8 where you can see these improvements in person while you meet your child's teachers.
Another new improvement this year are our school-wide expectations. PRIDE expectations will be posted around the school and in classrooms so we can ensure we are communicating the same expectations for behavior. Please encourage your child to stay 10th period. Full staff meetings occur only once a month, so there is always somewhere for your child to get extra help.
Thank you!
Dr. Avery and Miss Chaya

Career Exploration Opportunities
Exploring is a way for 9- 12th grade students to check out a career that interests them. It is a career-education program that allows students to learn more about a particular career or industry through hands-on activities led by people out in the field.
Students and their parent should attend a joining event to learn more. You can reserve a spot at a joining event or learn more information by contacting Brad Rickman at Bradley.Rickman@Scouting.org Also, see the flyers for more information.
Feel free to also contact Tracy O'Hara, Career Pathways Counselor at tohara@williamsoncentral.org with questions too.
