Please be advised that on Tuesday, October 6th, Lot D will be closed for the entirety of the day (7:30AM-3:30PM).

This means that there will be no student drop-off or pick-up from Lot D on this school day. The Lot D parking lot is the nearest to the Senior High Gymnasium Lobby entrance.

If you normally use this traffic route, we ask that you make other travel arrangements for drop-off and pick-up. Our other traffic routes onto campus will operate as they normally do.

*Blair Circle (off of Blair Avenue)

*Junior High Traffic Circle (off of Gilbert Avenue)

*Sulsar Avenue (off of Jonathan Ave./Victory Parkway)

Lot D will re-open for normal drop-off and pick-up on Wednesday, October 7th.

We appreciate your understanding and appreciate your cooperation with this change.

Thank you,

Walnut Hills Administrative Team and Building Security Team

Students parking in designated student parking areas on school grounds must display a parking permit which can be purchased for $40 cash-only in the Main Office (Ms. Daniels). Students are not permitted to park in faculty, staff, and visitor parking areas during the school day. Students found to be parking on campus without a student Pass or parking in a designated Faculty Lot will be subject to disciplinary action which could also result in their loss of parking privileges.

Student Parking is First Come, First Served; A Parking Permit Does Not Guarantee A Parking Space.
The WHHS Student Parking Permit Registration 26-27 form must be completed in advance to obtain your parking pass.

The Walnut Hills High School Theatre Department is thrilled to welcome you to their Senior High Play Romeo and Juliet. The show runs October 15-17 at 7 pm with a matinee on October 17 at 2 pm. All performances take place in the Walnut Hills High School Westheimer Auditorium.

Tickets are $14 for adults and $12 for students. Tickets can be purchased at https://sites.google.com/view/whhstheatredepartment/tickets?authuser=0

NEED A NEW ACCOUNT:

If you are a parent/guardian of a junior or senior and still need to register for a Naviance account, send an email request including your student's name and grade level to Mrs. Christie (christt@cps-k12.org) to receive your registration code.

ADD A STUDENT TO EXISTING ACCOUNT:

If you have an account and need to add another student, provide the name and grade level of the student you are adding along with the name/grade level or name/graduation year of the student already linked to your account.

Give your student a PSAT and Digital ACT practice run with Revolution Prep. These exams mirror the official test format, timing, and tools—like the on-screen graphing calculator, digital notes, and answer elimination—so students can experience exactly what they’ll see on test day and receive a detailed score report instantly that shows where to focus next.

Why This Matters

In the weeks following the exam, you’ll meet with a Revolution Prep advisor for a 30-minute score review. This is where families unlock their student’s testing strategy—which test fits best, when to take it, and whether a class or tutoring is the strongest next step.

A high score isn’t the only goal — the right strategy is. This gives you both.

Are you not sure when to keep your student home if they are not feeling well?

Use the link below to access the CPS current Too Sick for School Policy.

Too Sick for School

Please keep in mind, illness is an excused absence and students will be able to make up work they will miss. Please do not send ill students to school because they have a quiz or test.

Please see below for our school policy.

Cell phone policy:

1st offense confiscation of cell phone for the remainder of the day and parent pickup

If a student lies about having a phone, they will receive the appropriate consequence as stated above, in addition to a Friday School for False Identification/dishonesty.

Students who arrive to school without a Yondr pouch will turn in their cell phone to the main office upon entering the building. After the third time of not having their pouch, the cell phone will be held until a parent is able to pick it up, or they purchase a new Yondr pouch.

The administration will continue to conduct Yondr classroom checks during the week.

Parents and students, please note the Walnut Hills Dress Code listed in the Student Handbook.
