Razors of the Week

Razors of the Week - Ethan Lusk and Hunter Pankuch

Congratulations to Ethan Lusk and Hunter Pankuch for being selected as this week's co-Razors of the Week. Ethan and Hunter were nominated by their English teacher, Mrs. Kim Brooks. Mrs. Brooks said, "Hunter Pankuch and Ethan Lusk stepped in to read out loud for students that were absent during our staged production of The Crucible in the auditorium. In general, asking students to get on stage to read lines in front of their peers is a lot to ask already, but both Ethan and Hunter volunteered without me even asking. I always talk to my students about leaving their mark outside of grades, and these two students certainly did that!"

Congratulations, Ethan and Hunter! See Mrs. Crawford sometime this week for a small token of celebration!

Making Our Mark

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Making My Mark suicide awareness walk at halftime of the football game on Friday. It was so awesome to see our Walhalla and West-Oak communities come together to support such an important cause. 

Learn more about Making My Mark at https://makingmymark.org.

Weapons Detection

Weapons Detectors will be used at WHS every week. We will not announce the days ahead of time and may choose to use them at all entrances or run them at only driver or rider entrances. Please watch the video below and see the flyer for things you can do to ensure we are moving students through as quickly as possible. 

Thank you for doing your part to help keep us safe!

Need a Permanent Library Pass?

Submit this application to receive a reusable library pass for admittance to the library in the mornings (8:00-8:35 am) and/or during your lunch. The teacher on duty should not allow you to pass through the doors from the cafeteria/commons area during these times without a pass. Use only the upstairs hallway and stairs from the cafeteria/commons.

You can always get a Securly hall pass from a teacher if you just need to go to the library occasionally during these times. This pass is for the students who plan to go to the library most/all mornings and/or most/all lunches.

Please note: This pass can be rescinded if you are found wandering through the hallways instead of going straight to the library and/or using the commons stairwell and upstairs hall.

Car Rider Reminders

PLEASE DO NOT drop students off or pick them up in the main parking lot or in the student parking lot. Remember to pull ALL THE WAY up to the purple line or the car in front of you. Do your part to help our dismissal run efficiently.
Thank you for helping to keep our students safe!
