May 4th, 2020 - Teacher Appreciation, Monitoring Grades, May the 4th Be With You

Today kicks of Teacher Appreciation Week.

Please take a moment to shoot quick message to a teacher who has helped during educational journey. These small tokens of gratitude go a long way, especially during a time when our dynamics are so different.

This is also an important time to stay on top of your grades, seniors especially. We are working on communicating with teachers and students the grade required for Cycle 6 to earn credit. For those in STAAR tested courses, earning credit is necessary to be exempted from having to take the test in the future.

Please make sure you are utilizing PowerSchool and know the grade students need to make:



There are also new resources being updated on the Dallas ISD AT-Home Learning site: LINK.

Finally, we will be communicating more information the next couple days about what we will need to prepare for our special graduation event for our seniors. Again, our goal is to maintain the traditional graduation ceremony elements while using this as an opportunity to celebrate this amazing group of seniors in a unique and memorable way.

May the 4th be with you!

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
