The "Wolf Call" Blog to parents creation is underway! Saturday, Nov. 5 deadline for submissions please. If you have an item of interest, with an image or photo preferably, that we can include for the November edition, please send it to me by Saturday, Nov. 5. YOUR content creates this vital link to parents--it is sent out via Infinite Campus to every student and parent and is linked on our website. What type of content are we looking for?
All Coordinators / Directors--EL, AVID, GATE, ATHLETICS, MUSIC, CHOIR, BAND, ART, CTE, and DEPARTMENT CHAIRS could submit items of interest for parents. Photos and a brief description of what students are doing in class--fund raisers, trips to Costa Rica, Spain, Europe etc that are trying to gather student participants, BRAGGING about student performance, "Looking down the Road" for Guidance and College Going or other items of interest. WE ARE MARKETING and SHARING with our Community so don't be shy--submit away and be seen! ATTENDANCE and SCHOOL NURSE information, LIBRARY and CHROMEBOOK reminders, FINE NOTICE and LOST and FOUND...anything and everything to do with WHHS makes up the "Wolf Call". We welcome any and all submissions. If you need an extra day or two to finish a submission just let Robin know--the goal is to publish by the second week of the month but there is some flexibility here as well.
News from the West Hills High School Foundation: Mrs. Karen Fleck has taken on the Presidency of the Board again. She is a passionate, positive and super organized dedicated volunteer committed to serving West Hills and making our Foundation lively and actively supporting our larger school programs. We are looking for a TEACHER and STAFF REPRESENTATIVE willing to meet once a month, the first Wednesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. in rm. B5A "The IEP Room" to participate in the Foundation. Duties include being an active conduit of information from the faculty and staff to the Board and vice versa. A HUGE THANK YOU to BILLY FOGLE who just finished several volunteer years on the BOARD! YOU are missed! If you could be this vital link, please let Robin know. The next meeting is Wednesday, Nov. 2 with the new Board and you would be so very welcomed!
Our show dates are Nov. 4th, 10th, 12th @7pm and Nov. 5th @2pm. November 12 matinee is our "Pay What You Can" for 18 and under and then we have a 20 minute talk-back after the show with the actors and crew onstage. Zombie Prom is an upbeat musical that is a spoof of 1950's musicals. It is a great show for the entire family! We hope you can join us for some great singing, acting and Zombie shenanigans!!
CONGRATULATIONS go to .....

Speaking of involvement....THANK YOU to student leaders Vivien and Kaiden for running such a GREAT STUDENT SENATE! THANK YOU TEACHERS and STAFF for sending your representatives!
If you could encourage your Senator to give a brief report out to your class and take feedback for the next meeting, we appreciate it. It can be whenever it fits your class time and does not need to be the next day.
Student representatives gave input on a variety of topics including:
Parental Involvement Policy (linked on our website under "Parents"; Discussed and reviewed by PTSA Board and School Site Council; Requirement under Title I)
Partners Compact (linked on our website under Students) brought to Department Chair and Leadership two weeks ago as well as PTSA and School Site Council; Requirement under Title I)
Activities at lunch they and their peers would like to see
Winter Assembly ideas for activities for the crowd
The most dynamic part came in the "Round Table" discussion where students brought up topic of interest and concerns: Senior Night for Fall sports; Shade structures and more picnic tables; Clarifying costume requirements for Halloween Monday; Red Ribbon Week; Yearbook and Senior Photos.
Thank you again for your support of this important communication and involvement piece at WHHS!
The Class of 2014 gifted to the school two outdoor bulletin boards you may have noticed on campus. If you would like to put something on the bulletin boards on behalf of students on campus, please submit them one week before you want them posted, to Shari Rebello, fabulous receptionist in the front office. Our ASB Commissioner of Publicity will pick them up and post them for one week.
Student Clubs on Campus and a schedule of their meeting times are linked on our website Please remember that if you are an Adviser, beyond allowing students to meet in your classroom at lunchtime, if they want to conduct a fundraiser or have a question about "how" something is done on campus, you are the information liaison for them. In most cases you can send them to the ASB leadership for general questions, fund raising questions goes to our terrific new Finance Tech Taylor Hallahan, and there is a Club Adviser Responsibilities list available from ASB as well. We so appreciate your willingness to support and sustain our students in all manner and fashion of Clubs! We KNOW the more CONNECTED students are to school, the likelier they are to succeed! Thank you for your involvement and support!
As always, complete information and tons of specific content is on our website.
Go Wolf Pack!
WE DID IT!!
