Hello WHS Parents, Students, and Community!
I would like to share out some information that may impact you and your student next Wednesday, 1/15/25.
The Mass for Jabez Zabala will begin at 10:30 AM. We will have a modified lunch schedule for Wednesday, 1/15/25 so that any students who wish to attend the Mass will be able to do so. We will release for lunch at 10:15 AM, and return to school at 12:30 PM.
We will provide open gym, open library, and rooms with other activities for any students who wish to remain on campus during the extended lunch.
If your child will be attending the Rosary service prior to the Mass, please call the front office to sign them out.
If your child will not be returning to school after the Mass, please call the front office to excuse them. We will be sending out an attendance call at 12:45 PM for any students who are unexcused absent as a part of our regular procedures.
Greetings Families & Staff,
This is Mr. Evans with an important cybersecurity update from WUSD # 2.
We are writing to update you on a cybersecurity breach that has affected PowerSchool, the company that provides our student information system. PowerSchool recently discovered unauthorized access to its systems and is working to address the situation all across N. America and Canada.
According to PowerSchool, an unauthorized party used a compromised credential to gain access to some user data. The party was able to then gain access to the management console of the platform’s PowerSource tool. The company has further shared that the breach has been contained and that no malware was discovered.
The data that may have been compromised includes family and educator contact information. PowerSchool is now working to prevent any of the compromised data from further unauthorized access or misuse. The company believes that this data has been deleted and will not be shared anywhere publicly. PowerSchool is working with the FBI.
It is worth noting that this breach is on PowerSchool’s end and has not affected any of our other systems in the district.
When contact/demographic info/data is compromised like this, there is a greater risk of potential in receiving a spam/phishing email or spam/fraudulent phone call from a complete stranger. Please be diligent when opening emails, clicking on links, and engaging with strangers on the phone.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you for your attention to this important update.
Regards,
Mr. Evans
WUSD # 2 Superintendent

Upward Bound will be here on Wednesday, December 4th, 2024 to support our Freshman parents and students on the Upward Bound application. It will begin at 6:00PM in the WHS Library. Please see the attached flyer for more information, and we look forward to seeing you there!
Parents and Students, we want to inform you of a temporary change due to a shortage of bus drivers. Tomorrow morning (12-02-2024) through Thursday morning (12-05-2024) there will be no morning driver for Route 2. As a result, the original pick-up times will be delayed by approximately 30 minutes. We kindly ask that all students be at their bus stops and ready to board by 7:40 a.m. To help things run smoothly, please ensure you arrive a few minutes early, as the driver will not be able to wait for late arrivals. The first bus will stop at 9th Street and Oak, then travel along Grant Street and Route 66. The second bus will pick up students along Sheridan and up 6th Street. The third bus will travel to the golf course area and around to Morse Steet. These stops may be closer to 8:00 a.m. If you prefer to drive your child to school during this period, please contact the office at (928) 635-4473 to let us know. Normal Route 2 morning service will resume on 12-09-2024. Currently, no changes have been made to our afternoon routes. However, that could change by tomorrow. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.
Congrats to our WEMS and WHS Students of the Month! Well done!
