Spirit Week Has Arrived!
After a long weekend, students today showed an overwhelming display of Spirit Week Participation! Three more days to go!
Today's will be a short Guidance Newsletter, but good info nonetheless!
Good luck to those students taking the PSAT's tomorrow (don't forget to check the room assignments outside the main office and in the cafeteria tomorrow morning), and congratulations to those seniors who took the SAT's this past Saturday. For many seniors, Saturday was the last time they will take the test.
I hope everybody has a great Spirit Week!

Many to Choose From
Guidance Counselors Working with Freshmen
Counselors are visiting with freshmen during seminar class to introduce how guidance counselors can help them in their high school journey. In addition, freshmen are getting their codes to log in to the new Guidance Seminar Google Classrooms as well as Naviance, a tool that will be important for freshmen to get familiar with.
In addition, starting next week, for the next few Activity Periods, Counselors will be introducing themselves to their own freshmen during Homeroom. WRHS Homerooms are organized by Guidance Counselor, allowing us to deliver information directly to our own caseloads of students.
ROTC Presentation
This is the second year we've done this and we find that it's a well attended and helpful event for students. For more information, please see your guidance counselor. To sign up, please fill out and return the permission slip that's attached to this flyer by Monday, October 30th.
This opportunity is available to students in all grades.
