Important Reminders

Congratulations, you made it through the 1st semester!  A few reminders as we head into 2nd semester:

1. You have Monday off!  Your teachers will be working to finalize all of your 2nd quarter, exam and 1st semester grades.  Enjoy sleeping in tomorrow.  I'm jealous!  :-)

 

2.  Print your schedules!  Unless every class you are taking is a year-long course, your schedule is probably changing on Tuesday.  As a result, please make sure that you have the updated copy of your classes and the rooms where your classes will meet.  You can log into Infinite Campus to print your new schedule.

3.  Remember that all schedule changes require a parent signature.  Often times students will try to change their semester long classes as we go into the new semester.  Perhaps your elective interests have changed, but understand that we cannot overload a class and I cannot magically make a class appear in the master schedule where it isn't offered.  I strongly encourage you to at least give your new classes a chance before you decide to request a change.  If you know now or after next Tuesday that you want to make a change to your schedule, you can download the course change request forms from the academic section of the WKHS Counselor Website or you can pick up a copy from the bookshelves in the counseling center.

4.  Get Organized!  The extra day off gives you the perfect opportunity to sort through all of your schoolwork from the first semester.  What do you need to keep?  What can be recycled?  What needs to be filed and saved for future reference?  Do you need new folders?  Do you need more pencils, paper, binders?  Get organized now so that you start fresh for the new semester.  It is much easier to work to stay organized than it is to try to catch back up if you start off in a hole.

5.  Last, but certainly not least - tomorrow night is the Financial Aid night!  This is the night that we rescheduled it for following last week's cancellation due to the weather.  Students and parents who are interested in figuring out more information about paying for college are strongly encouraged to attend.  The presentation will be held in the WKHS Auditorium at 7pm.  I look forward to seeing you there!

Enjoy tomorrow!
