Wall High School Knightly News

Dear Wall High School Families,

PSAT and YouScience Aptitude & Career Discovery Assessment

On Wednesday, October 22nd, the PSAT will be administered to all sophomores and juniors at Wall High School. While only juniors are eligible to compete for National Merit Scholarships, taking the test as a sophomore provides valuable practice for taking the SAT college entrance assessment.

Freshmen will participate in the YouScience Aptitude & Career Discovery assessment on October 22nd. This engaging tool helps students uncover their unique strengths and interests, guiding them toward potential career paths that fit their skills and passions. We’re proud to support our students as they take this important step in planning their futures and exploring the many opportunities ahead! Please visit the YouScience Parent Page for more information and watch the Student Intro Video, which explains the “why” and the outcomes students can expect.

Seniors will arrive to school on a delayed opening schedule on October 22nd. Upon arriving to school, seniors will participate in an assembly run by the Office of the Monmouth County Clerk titled "Your Vote Matters." Seniors will learn about the importance of voting and how to vote in Monmouth County.

Thank you,

Yearbook is now $110

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
