WSLA Weekly Newsletter

At WSLA, we want to recognize and reward students who consistently make positive choices! Whether it's arriving to class on time, wearing your uniform, completing your assignments, showing respect to others, or simply doing the right thing, your positive actions deserve recognition!

We're working on creating exciting incentives and rewards for students, and we want YOUR input! What kinds of prizes, field trips, special privileges, celebrations, or recognition would you like to earn?

Take a few minutes to complete our Student Incentives & Recognition Survey and tell us what motivates you. Your feedback will help us create rewards and experiences that students actually want!

Two ways to earn points is by being in class on time and wearing your uniform. We will be raffling some great prizes as well as bringing back the Cougar store with items to purchase with points, so make sure you are earning and accumulating points by being respectful responsible, and safe!

We have updated the procedures for students who need to visit the Guidance Office.

All students should watch the brief 11-minute presentation linked above to learn about the new process. Please take time to review the presentation so you understand when and how to request assistance from the Guidance Office.

These procedures are designed to help students get the support they need while minimizing missed instructional time.

After viewing the presentation, students will be expected to follow the new Guidance Office procedures.

To make sure uniform expectations are handled fairly and consistently across WSLA, we are making some changes to how uniform violations are addressed.

Random school-wide uniform checks will take place during first period. When a uniform check is taking place, an announcement will be made over the intercom asking teachers to check their classrooms for students who are out of uniform. Teachers will enter those students' names into a Google Form so violations can be documented and tracked.

Students will no longer be sent out of class for uniform violations. Instead, grade-level deans or administrators will follow up with students and parents as needed.

The goal is simple: Keep students in class and focused on learning while making sure everyone follows the same expectations.

Students, please do your part by coming to school in the proper uniform every day. Let's work together to keep WSLA focused on what matters most—learning!
