The first full week of November is upon us. Busy month ahead! The 2nd Quarter will move right along - three and a half weeks to the Thanksgiving break. No school for students on Tuesday as the District has PD Day on Election Day. Scholars, make sure that you have a clear understanding of the 2nd Quarter timeline. Have a question? Please ask your teacher(s). Also, please make sure to check out the 'Important November 2nd Quarter Dates' below.

The 1st Quarter is in the books. On to the 2nd Quarter and the month of November. The 2nd Quarter time period will go much faster as we have several breaks built in. Students - please remember, that your 1st Quarter Grade combines with your 2nd Quarter Grade and Exam to average out your 1st Semester Grade, which is the Grade that goes on your Transcript. So, either keep those Grades up high, or dig in and get to work on raising those Grades! You got this. We got you.

As the weather begins to change and the temperature drops, our scholars will 'bundle up' to stay warm each day. Please note, that our policy of no hoods on heads and no full face coverings inside WMHS is still on.... The WMHS Administrative Team needs to be able to identify everyone inside the building at all times. This is for the safety of the building (staff, students, and guests). Parents/Guardians - please speak to your scholar about this policy. For the scholars that continuously break this policy where we are repeat asking them to remove a face covering and/or take the hood off their head, they will be placed in our ISS room and then progress to an OSS from school. Again, this is for the safety of the WMHS Building.

Our first 5 day week is in the books. Getting fully back into the swing with routines now.
Class Bells / Tardy to Class / Hall Sweeps --
- We have a bell that rings to release students to go to their next class.
- We have a warning bell that rings, to alert our students that their next class will be starting in 60 seconds.
- We then have a bell that rings to start the next class. All students should be inside their classroom when the start of class bell rings.
- Any student(s) that is not inside their class when the start of class bell rings, is tardy and subject to being picked up in a hall sweep by our leadership team.
- After the hall sweeps: if a student is picked up *3 times, they will be issued an ISS (in school suspension). After the *4th time, the student will be given an OSS (out of school suspension). The OSS will be progressive (*5th time is 1 day of OSS, *6th time is 2 days of OSS, *7th time is 3 days of OSS, *8th time is 5 days of OSS, and *9th time is 10 days of OSS).
- We will reset the Hall Sweep Tardies each month.
- Students are expected to get to class on time and to stay in class.
- We will begin to run Hall Sweeps, with consequences this week!
