May 10th, 2020 - Cap/Gown Pick Up, AP Exams, College Access, Yearbooks

Happy Mother's Day!

 SENIOR CAP and GOWN PICK UP:

 First, make sure that you are filling out the Graduation Form for us to fill your personal slide and the graduation program information accurately. 
  • For clarity, the honors question is in reference to positions or honors received (ex: NHS, Class Officer, IB Diploma Candidate)
  • The “message” can be something from your parents, a quote you like, a fond memory (school appropriate) and has no length requirement.

 Please see the directions and protocols for pick up HERE.

The hours for students to come pick up their cap and gown and take their picture will be between 9:00 am - 12:00 pm or between 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm. (Students must be prepared to take their picture upon arrival and will not be permitted to leave and come back at another time.)

    • Ladies will come Monday morning or Tuesday afternoon
    • Gentlemen will come Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning
    • We understand that there are AP tests being administered these days, please contact us directly (pmeaker@dallasisd.org) if these times do not work. 

Our campus and PTA have been working on plans for a opportunity for families to have an intimate, in-person graduation moment on campus. We will keep families informed as plans are approved.

March 24th, 2020 - Day One, In the Books

Image
Whew. Yesterday was a tough day. Out of District emails got bounced back. The phone rang off the hook. Food ran out way too early (This will be fixed for Thursday). Between these tasks, I jumped in and out of Skype, Zoom, and Hangouts before heading to home to help my sons with their online modules at about 6:00 PM. We are very fortunate to both be working right now, but juggling being a teacher, employee, and parent at the same time will take some getting used to. I'm sure your day was just as challenging, if not harder. Thank you for persevering. Seeing our staff come together and the agency of students were the highlights of the day. Continue to visit  WWHS COVID-19 Response Virtual Classroom Reference Sheet (Community-Facing)  for Google Classroom and Remind codes . Students came steadily for Chromebooks and emailed for support. If students still need a computer, please bring them to the horseshoe Thursday between 10 and 1 PM. If you need tech support, please call  972
