 Safety

As you may have seen on the news, there is a TikTok challenge taking place across the country that encourages students to vandalize and steal from schools and post these escapades to their TikTok accounts. We are continuing to have an issue at WGHS with bathroom vandalism and theft. Soap dispensers have been ripped off of the walls, refills are stolen regularly, and there has been inappropriate writing on the walls. Each time this occurs we are forced to lock down those bathrooms until they can be cleaned and restocked. This is an inconvenience for all of our students who are using the bathrooms appropriately. Please take the time to speak with your students about respecting property and our shared spaces. We encourage any students who witness these destructive acts to come forward and tell an adult so that we can hold those students accountable in accordance with our WGHS Code of Conduct. 

In addition, we spend a lot of the day asking students to wear their masks over both their nose and mouth while in the building. Students do get mask breaks, but outside of that they must wear their masks properly. We are doing our best to avoid this being a disciplinary issue, but we expect students to follow the COVID-19 safety protocols, and there will be disciplinary action if a student refuses. Please reiterate with your student that while we recognize that the rules at school do not apply to many places outside of here, they are expected to comply with all of our COVID-19 safety protocols while on school grounds. 

Halloween Festivities!

Halloween is right around the corner and students have always enjoyed dressing up at the high school, and we love seeing all of the creative costumes. Students continue to be welcome to wear costumes on Friday as long as they are school appropriate (no weapons, full face masks, inappropriate clothing, etc). Students must continue to wear a mask in accordance with our COVID safety protocols. 

Please join us for our first ever Trunk or Treat event this Wednesday, October 27, 2021 from 5:00 PM - 7:30 PM at WGHS. We are so excited to see all of the kiddos in their Halloween costumes! All of the WGHS clubs/activities are coming together to host cars for trick or treating. A $5 donation per family is suggested to help our senior class with their Make-A-Wish fundraising and Positivity Project initiatives. We hope to see you there!

Ski Club

Ski club is back and cooler than ever (pun intended)! They will be going to Labrador Mountain on Thursday nights, starting on January 6, 2022. Please have your student see Mr. Dowler in room C133 for more information. 

Have a great week! 

Sincerely,

Tracy Klefbeck, Thomas Vaughan, Gregory Lawson, and Dana Eells
