Wall High School Knightly News

ALL student and parent forms in Genesis must be completed/acknowledged in order to view student schedules. Forms are live in the parent and student portals.

• Valid reasons for which a student may request a change of schedule include:

  • An error or omission in data entry

  • Meeting a graduation requirement (seniors)

  • Course failures, which prohibit progress to the next sequential course

  • Successful summer school attendance allowing progress to the next sequential course

  • In order to honor, where possible, the student’s original course selection requests

  
  

  Any student requesting a change of schedule must do so by Friday, September 12th. The dropped course will not become a part of the student’s permanent record. A student dropping a course after September 12th will have the course printed on his/her permanent record. The course will appear on the student’s transcript as either Withdraw Pass (WP) or Withdraw Fail (WF) based upon the grade at the time of dropping the course. This policy for changes will be followed at all times. Students will receive an email from Mrs. Misa, Director of School Counseling, with a form to request any schedule changes.

The Genesis portal will also be used to communicate busing information. The busing information may not be viewable yet on August 19th. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding busing, please contact the Transportation Department at 732.681.7698

During Orientation, students will take part in fun team-building activities, meet WHS staff and student leaders, get helpful tips for navigating high school, and learn more about our amazing clubs and activities.

Please note: Orientation is for students only. However, we look forward to seeing parents at our Freshman Parent Information Session on Thursday, September 11th at 6:15 PM, right before Back to School Night, which begins at 7:00 PM.

We wanted to share some details to assist you in gearing up for a successful start of the 2025-2026 school year. All AP classes have a required summer assignment.

All other math and English courses have an optional assignment to enhance your readiness for the school year.

You can access Summer Assignments on the Wall High School Website under the Academics tab or by clicking the button below.

The Wall High School Parent-Teacher Organization plays an important role in building a strong school community and supporting programs for both students and staff. PTO funds help provide classroom resources, student events, teacher appreciation activities, and more. We encourage every family to join the PTO for the 2025–26 school year and pay annual dues—your participation directly benefits our school. Membership information and payment options can be found through the link below. Thank you for helping us make this year exceptional for our students.

Before Back to School Night, join the Counseling Department on Thursday, September 11th at 6:00 p.m. in the WHS Cafeteria to learn more about the college application process!

Scoir is a solution for students, supporters, counselors, and colleges focused on finding the right fit through a unified college search and planning network. This platform connects students to a powerful set of tools to help them identify their talents, search for their college fit, plan with their supporters, and apply when ready. As a parent/guardian, you play an integral role on Scoir by providing your student(s) with college suggestions, financial information, and general guidance.

Everyone should try to join at least one club!

Take a look at the club and activities website and email the clubs advisor if you have any questions.

On August 3rd, the Guild of Creative Art honored Wall High School Art Department graduate Marisa Amitié, awarding her this year’s Guild of Creative Art Scholarship.

Marisa’s accomplishments during her time at WHS are nothing short of remarkable: she was named Art Student of the 1st Marking Period for the 2024–25 school year, won Best in Show at the 2025 Congressional Art Competition, was one of only two WHS students to advance to the State Teen Arts Competition this year, and received the prestigious Art Department Award—proudly wearing her medal at graduation.

This fall, Marisa will attend Messiah University to pursue a degree in graphic design.

Congratulations, Marisa! The Wall High School Art Department is incredibly proud of you and excited to see the amazing things you will create in the years ahead.

Please be advised, WHS will not accept food deliveries from services such as DoorDash, Grubhub, Uber Eats, etc. for students in our school. While we understand the convenience these services provide, they create significant disruptions within our main office. More importantly, allowing outside food/lunch deliveries raises concerns about the safety and security of our students and staff.

Please note: Parents and guardians are still permitted to drop off lunch for students who may have forgotten their meals. However, we ask that you coordinate these drop-offs directly through our main office to ensure a smooth process.

Thank you for your understanding and support as we prioritize the well-being and security of our school community.

Mr. Davis
