Thank you all for the successful completion of Semester one grades and Finals! We had a very smooth transition to semester two and particularly thank Guidance and all who assisted in making this a seamless and wonderful start!

Please take a moment to talk as a Department and review the Department Chair and Leadership meeting agenda for February 4. Our limited time together in all -faculty PLC time coming up on April 4 needs to be as useful to you as possible.


Multi-Cultural Fair needs YOU!

Please join us on Feb. 22, 7:45 in rm. E-8 to plan our Multi-Cultural Week! Several student leaders have stepped up giving feedback on ways they want to change and improve this experience for students and we need and welcome your participation and feedback as well! Please let Robin know if you want to be involved but this date / time does not work for you so we can keep you in the loop.

DID YOU KNOW???
If you go to our webpage and look at the left hand side "What's Happening at West Hills" that if you click on the event, you can post it to your own google calendar easily? You never need miss a WHHS event again! Try it with a wonderful sporting event or our wonderful Santee Visions art show Friday night!



Have a terrific week! Go Wolf Pack!

Welcome to the new semester! All students and parents are looking online at Infinite Campus for their new schedules unless they are newly enrolled on campus. We are NOT printing schedules for them to pick up like we have in the past (saving almost 2000 sheets of paper!) PLEASE check your rosters carefully. If any student is in your class but NOT on your IC roster, please send have them look in IC at their schedule and send them to the correct class or, if no class is listed for that period or you are unsure what to do with them, send them to Guidance for a resolution.

FRESHMAN SHOWCASE: February 10, 2016
A big THANK YOU to all who worked on our promotional flier that was mailed out to over 400 incoming Freshman! Marketing efforts continue to all of our client K-8 schools plus notable private schools near us. If you would like fliers to take to any friends, neighbors or elsewhere, please let Ginny Bell know. She can get you either of these documents in color for sharing! We want to GROW our great programs and the class of 2020 is a GREAT opportunity to do so!


Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) 
 We are RESPECTFUL, RESPONSIBLE and HONORABLE

Thank you to all for incorporating our PBIS efforts into your classroom and campus expectations. While Mrs. Tanya Morrison has been out on maternity leave, big thanks go to WHHS alum Meagan Sage for taking on this long term substitute position teaching her U.S. History classes as well as working with our 100 CEIS students. 

As always, for a full schedule of WHHS events, please take a look at our website

Image result for Class of 2020 logo

This is the night we welcome incoming 9th graders and their parents to preview our school and our TERRIFIC academics, athletics and co-curricular programs! Because we want to WELCOME any and all students to our school, we chose to re-name this event since parents last year let us know they thought "orientation" meant a student who was already enrolled with us rather than learning about our school. We continue OUTREACH and MARKETING via:

*Direct mailers to client k-8 students in our middle schools
*Advertising in community papers / online venues like the East County Magazine, Santee PATCH and Tierra Times.
*Posting notices on our website, in our new REMIND app for parents and community members and onto our TWITTER accounts.

JOIN US in sending word out via any way you choose--we WANT the class of 2020 to be as large as possible! 

All the best this week...check out our website for additional sports schedules and items of interest!
