POST PROM PLANNING
Attention Junior Class Families...
We can't make this happen without your support. Please consider contributing through Classmunity https://www.classmunity.com/waunakeewi/view-fundraiser.php?fundraiser_id=2014. Any amount is welcome and every bit helps us provide a fun and safe environment for our juniors, seniors, and their prom dates to extend the prom festivity a few more hours. We also encourage you to reach out to businesses or steer us towards some who might also like to support the event. You can find us on Facebook and join our group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1549502362139051. And you are welcome to contact the planning committee at waunakeepostprom@gmail.com.
SWEETHEART DANCE

Recognition Seniors Receive at Graduation
Over the next few months, information will be shared regarding the June 3, 2023 graduation.
For your convenience, here are some details regarding senior recognitions.
Gold honor cords are awarded for cumulative GPAs of 3.6 or higher at the end of the first semester of senior year. Laude cords are awarded in addition to the gold honor cords as follows:
A student’s Laude score will be determined by multiplying the student’s cumulative GPA after the first semester of their senior year by the number of “advanced” semester courses completed in all four years as listed on the Advanced Courses chart on page 20 of the handbook (including the courses they will take in the second semester of their senior year).
There are three levels of awards:
- Summa Cum Laude (purple cord)
- Magna Cum Laude (silver cord)
- Cum Laude (white cord)
- 56+ Summa Cum Laude
- 40 – 55.999 Magna Cum Laude
- 24 – 39.999 Cum Laude
Watch for further information regarding honors, the laude system, etc., to be shared soon!

Student Schedules for 2nd Semester
Student schedules for 2nd semester may have been adjusted in order to better serve our students and staff overall. It should be noted that no schedule change requests will be accepted, unless you meet one of the following reasons:
Your schedule is incomplete (missing a course during a certain hour) or overbooked (more than one course is scheduled in the same hour.)
You have two study halls on the same day.
You failed the 1st semester of a year-long course.
You are enrolled in the apprenticeship or early college credit program(s) (ECCP) and need work release or release to attend outside classes.
You have an IEP or 504 plan in which your case manager recommends a change.
Questions or concerns may be discussed with your school counselor. Thank you for understanding as our school community continues to grow.
All current 9th, 10th, 11th grade students, and parents/guardians were sent a reminder email via Infinite Campus on 1/24/23 detailing information about 2023-2024 Course Registration. In an effort to make information available to students and families, all registration information can be found on our Counseling Department Website, including the 2023-2024 Course Guide, the Course Registration Timeline, and Course Information by Grade. The Counseling staff will be available for students on 1/31/23 and 2/1/23 in the PAC during Contact Time for Course Registration support. Students may sign up in FlexiSched under Counseling for one of these dates if they have questions or need assistance.
Please Note: There will NOT be an opportunity for students to change their course requests once the window of registration is completed so staffing can be appropriately planned for the 2023-2024 school year.
