Good afternoon! We'll be testing our new attendance notification system for WCHS this evening around 7:30pm. We appreciate your patience as we finalize this process. Thank you!

We want to remind you that Monday, October 14, is Parent-Teacher Conference Day. This is a great chance for you to meet with your child’s teacher and talk about how your child is doing in school. There will be no school for students on this day, so we can focus on these important meetings. Conferences will be held from 11:30 AM to 7:00 PM, so you can pick a time that works best for you. You can choose to meet in person or online, whichever is easier for you. During the conference, you will learn about your child’s strengths, areas where they can improve, and how we can work together to help them. To set up your conference, please reach out to your child’s teacher. Thank you for supporting your child’s learning!

Staff at these locations will also be in a 2-hour delay. If you believe travel conditions in your area are unsafe, please contact your principal in the morning. Our main concern is safety.

This applies to both students and staff. Schools will provide additional details regarding assignments and remote learning procedures. Students will be allowed to make up work missed during Remote Instruction. All extracurricular activities are canceled.

However, the safety of our students, parents, and staff is our highest priority. Based on current reports and observed conditions, traveling to and from our campuses could be dangerous tomorrow, particularly in the areas hardest hit by the flooding. We aim to resume in-person instruction on Wednesday, September 18th, provided conditions improve. We will keep you informed of any updates to this plan.
