Greetings WHS families,
It was a short week at WHS with ACT Aspire testing for students in 9th and 10th grade on Thursday and no school on Friday, April 15th. Have a great long weekend and we look forward to seeing everyone on Monday!

Grades and Gradebook Checks
As we continue through the trimester please continue checking your student’s grades in Skyward and communicate with your student’s WHS teachers if there are any academic concerns. With only a few weeks remaining in the trimester as well as the school year it is more important than ever to ensure that your student makes the most of the academic opportunities available in their classes. It is a busy, exciting time of year and WHS staff want to partner with WHS families to ensure every student has a fantastic, successful end to the school year!
Graduation
Graduation is scheduled for Saturday, June 11 at 10 a.m. and will take place in the WHS Fieldhouse. This will be a ticketed event for guests, with each graduate being allocated eight (8) tickets. Unused tickets will be made available to families who may want additional tickets.
Graduation practice will take place on Friday, June 10 at 10 a.m. Attendance is required if students plan on participating in the Graduation Ceremony on June 11.
Prom
Prom is Saturday, May 7 from 8:00-11:30 in the WHS. The theme this year is Enchanted Evening, and it will be a great night with beautiful decorations and dancing. The two junior and senior courts will be presented at 9:30 pm. All students need to be in the prom by 9:30 pm. Directly after the prom, students can go to the Elks Lodge on First Street. The post prom runs from 11:30-2:00 am and is free with your prom ticket. If students are going to post prom, they must be there by 12:15 am, as there will be no admittance after that. The post prom will include a huge buffet of food, numerous games--from a ping pong and bags tourney to many casino games and giant Jenga. Prize money can be won at many games. Beyond that, there will be over 100 door prizes for attendees, including an $800 Trek bike, TV, dorm refrigerator, microwave, numerous cash prizes, gift cards, and much, much more! Tickets go on sale with the bookkeeper in the front office on Monday, April 18. Tickets are $25 per person, which includes admission to both prom and the post prom at the Elks Lodge. Students can buy tickets until May 4 but don't delay--get your ticket ASAP--students will receive their ticket and wristband at prom on Saturday, May 7.
