Thank you Choir and Mr. Maldonado for a lovely concert Friday night!
In addition to the two choirs performing, there were numbers of solos, duets, and various small group performances that made for a terrific evening of music!

We need your help Teachers....please plan to check in student textbooks as soon as possible during Finals week (and before for Seniors). If you need T.A.s to assist you with this, please let Admin know.
- Link to Destiny Fine Correction Form (For Teachers) Please use this form to enter corrections for students as needed. For example, "Two years ago I let student X into the classroom next to mind and watched them leave their World History textbook with a note for their classroom teacher so please do not continue to give them a fine".
No Senior may get their Cap and Gown (on Friday, June 1, 2:00 gym) with any fines
Please read the following message with information from Suzanne regarding Destiny processes for textbook check in and fines for the end of the year.
Please bookmark and review the following new website that includes Destiny help links and important information regarding textbook and fine-related deadlines:
Destiny Help for WHHS Staff
IMPORTANT items and processes to review, which are featured on the homepage:
- ALL TEACHERS & STAFF: Make sure to read the IMPORTANT UPDATES REGARDING TEXTBOOKS & FINES section.
- Textbook Exception Form - ALL TEACHERS who plan on collecting and checking in textbooks AFTER 5/23/18 should submit this form since textbooks roll over into lost fines after this date.
- Destiny Fine Correction Form - Created to address the issue of students claiming they turned in textbooks and teachers requesting fines be waived, teachers may submit this form and Kelley Herman or Suzanne Sannwald will make necessary updates to student records in Destiny.
- Textbook Replacement Approval Form - Departments should discuss their policies, and if they decide to allow for replacements, teachers may use this form to expedite the processing of replacement textbook items and fine clearance in Destiny.
Thank you to everyone for helping students with these items!
