A Message from Principal Davis

It is hard to believe that it’s November already. I would like to express my gratitude to all of our class advisors and student leaders who assisted with making Pep Week and Homecoming an outstanding success. Special thanks to the WHS PTO for bringing back the Homecoming Dance which was a great night for all who attended!


As we near the end of the fall sports season we encourage students and families to continue to come out and support our teams that are still competing in their respective state tournaments. The athletic schedule is available here.


The first marking period ends on November 7th. Please remember to check the parent portal to monitor your child’s attendance as well as grades and assignments. Please encourage your child to communicate with their teachers in regards to any missing assignments and to turn in all work before the end of the marking period. Let’s finish the first marking period strong!

7 Mindsets: Attitude of Gratitude

The months of November and December are dedicated to the exploration of the mindset, ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE.


Through the ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE Mindset, we are taught that we can use either the positives or negatives in our lives as a foundation on which to build. Choose the positives, and we are on our way toward extraordinary success! By focusing on the things we have, there is no time to be distracted by what we don’t have.


4 Key Components:

  • Treasure Yourself
  • Be More Grateful
  • Thank it Forward
  • Elevate Your Perspective

Staying Healthy During Cold, Flu, Covid Season

Suggestions to stay healthy during cold, flu, and COVID season are helpful during this busy time of year. Habits like frequent handwashing, exercising, eating a balanced meal, and getting plenty of rest are the best ways to maintain a healthy immune system. If you experience symptoms of a cold, flu, or COVID, please stay home. If you have a temperature greater than 100.0, you must be fever-free without fever-reducing medication for 24 hours before returning to school. Those diagnosed with COVID, whether it be symptomatic or asymptomatic, should be isolated for 5 days, beginning on the first full day of symptoms (or the day you were tested if asymptomatic), and may return to school on day 6 if symptom-free. If you have any questions, you can refer to the guidelines on the district website or speak directly with the School Nurse.
