Principal

Hello again,

As we wrap up the first 9-week grading period, I want to take a moment to reflect on the exciting start to our school year. There is a lot to celebrate, and we're looking forward to even more successes as we move forward. As both a parent in this district and as the principal of WRHS, I want to assure you that your child is receiving an excellent education. However, we know that for some students, learning can present challenges, and we're here to offer any support they might need. There is still plenty of time to address any concerns before the semester ends, and I'd like to share some helpful resources that are available.

One of the best tools for staying informed about your child's progress is our Parent Portal. It allows you to track grades, attendance, behavior, lunch account balances, and more. If you haven't yet activated your Parent Portal account, you can get your activation key by contacting my Administrative Assistant, Ms. Susan Kaspar, at 339-4104. She will gladly assist you with the process of getting started. The portal updates regularly, so it provides a real-time view of your child's performance. If you're noticing any areas of concern, please don't hesitate to reach out to your child's teachers for additional support.

Teachers are available before school starting at 7:30 AM and after school, typically until 3:30 PM, to provide extra help. Some teachers who also coach may not be available after school, but they are happy to schedule time with students before school. If you find that your child needs additional help, I would encourage you to contact your child's counselor. For your convenience, I have listed them below.

• Leslie Fischer (339-4117): Last names A-D
• Keith Wetzel (339-4116): Last names E-J
• Emilio Chavez (339-4103): Last names K-O
• Michelle Pegram-Caporusso (339-4911): Last names P-T
• Marie Coates (339-4118): Student Services
• Marcie Frederickson (339-4115): Last names U-Z, International Baccalaureate, Student Services-Gifted
• Rylie Nelson (339-4119): Alternative Education

Our counselors are ready to help in a variety of ways to ensure your child reaches their academic goals. If the extra help from teachers doesn't resolve the issue, your child may be referred to our Student Intervention Team (SIT). This team, which includes educational professionals and you as a parent, will review your child's progress and recommend tailored interventions. Most challenges can be addressed effectively through this process. If additional steps are necessary, our counselors will work with you to explore other options.

At WRHS, we are committed to helping every student reach their full potential. Please don't hesitate to let us know how we can support your child's success.
