NEWS from the WEEK......





Wolf Pack Staff,

We hope this message finds you well and that your Quarter 2 is off to a good start!

In an effort to continue improving communication to our students, families, and community of West Hills High School, we are upgrading to a new format of weekly, informative messages called the " Wolf Call Weekly." We will send out the message each Monday to our students, families, and community of West Hills High School. 

WHHS Families will still receive messages from the school with specific announcements, things to remember, and highlights of which to be aware of via Infinite Campus. 

We would love to include program highlights, newsletters, projects in your class, upcoming events, athletic info, social media handles to follow, etc.  that will help promote all things WHHS! 

If you would like to submit a post, please use this google form to submit items for the coming weeks in Quarter 2. The post above (Oct. 26-30 is still a "draft" and we can include more items if you have something for next week.) We will add Alpha + and Honor Roll students soon. The deadline to submit items is Friday at 12:00 PM.

Thank you for your continued support for all students at West Hills!

Assistant Principal

Check out this video honoring Kathy Worley from the Harbor Freight Tools for Schools program. Find her part at 6:09 into the video. Congratulations Kathy!! Thank you for all you do for our students and West Hills! 


Thank you teachers for continuing to help us follow up on students!

Just a friendly reminder to use THIS FORM to document any student(s) not engaging with online learning 60% or less each week. SB98 requires us to follow up with any student who is not engaging after the teacher has contacted the student and parent. "Engagement" is completing and turning in work. "Contact" is via phone and email.  Counselors and office staff are required to document and demonstrate efforts beyond the teacher to engage with school. This document assists us in doing so. You would complete this EACH WEEK after you have entered engagement / participation for the week.  One student only per form. Please complete for each student not engaging at at least 60%. 






Tutorial Schedule: Thank you to our quality substitutes for staffing period 7/8 tutorials in person and / or on Zoom beginning Tuesday, Oct. 27. Some will continue to staff tutorials from 
1-2 pm Tuesday - Friday via Zoom as well. Students and parents are encouraged to work with their teacher of record first and to use our tutorials as supplemental to their teacher's guidance and time offerings for Zoom learning.
