Student Drop-Off/Pick-Up Process

Thank you for another great week at Whiteford High School. Students are now into Marking Period 2 and you should be able to see Marking Period 1 grades on Infinite Campus.

• (Go to Documents section on left and click MP1 Report Card)

We have started sending D/F notifications home on Thursday afternoons. Please continue to encourage your student(s) to seek help from their teachers if they are missing assignments or need extra assistance. We offer Peer to Peer tutoring during Seminar on A-Days if you think your student could benefit from that, please reach out to their Seminar teacher.

Parent Teacher Conferences next week on Thursday November 12th. We look forward to seeing you next week.

• 12-3pm
• 4-7pm

We have started having students serve lunch detentions once they receive three tardies in one course. We are continuing to reinforce the importance of being on time to class. If your student earns a lunch detention please continue to talk with them about the importance of being on time to class. Tardies reset each marking period.

Our District-Wide Behavior Trait for November is Responsibility!

School Picture Re-Take information is in its own section below.

We continue to build our school culture through our PBIS program.

1. School Wide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports. This system reinforces positive behavior choices. PBIS Matrix

Go Bobcats!

We are looking for Gift Card Donations for our PBIS Incentives for our MS/HS students. These gift cards can be for $5, $10, $15, or $20 denominations.

These can be for a variety of businesses. In the past we have received gift card donations from places like... Chick-Fil-A, Target, McDonald's, Starbucks, Tim Hortons, Crumbl Cookies, Fortnite, Nintendo, etc... Local business are welcome to donate gift cards or gift certificates as well.

These donations make it possible to increase student engagement in our Positive Behavior Intervention System. Donations can be made directly to the MS or HS offices. Thank you for considering donating.

11/10- Veteran's Day Program (8a-10a) in High School Gym

11/12- Half-Day Early Dismissal (11:05) Parent Teacher Conferences (12p-3p) and (4p-7p)

Please take a moment to remind your student driver(s) about the importance of safe driving while arriving at and leaving school.

The school zone speed limit is 25 MPH during the following times:

Morning: 7:30 AM-8:30 AM

Slowing down is not only about following the posted speed limit; during arrival and dismissal, there are students walking through the parking lot, getting into vehicles, boarding buses, and crossing areas where traffic is moving.

There is also increased stop-and-go traffic as parents and family members arrive to pick up and drop off students. Driving at a slower speed gives drivers more time to react to pedestrians, buses, vehicles stopping unexpectedly, and changing traffic patterns.

Please remind students to stay alert, put distractions away, be patient, and slow down while traveling through the school zone and parking areas.
