Hello Falcon Families. I hope you are doing well. As we head into the second week of school closure, I encourage all students to get back into the routine of learning. WEMS teachers have online learning opportunities ready to go and are contacting families via text and/or phone to explain how to access them. For those of you who need or prefer them, paper learning packets are available at each WUSD meal site beginning tomorrow. Simply request a packet by grade level. Teachers will not be grading work at this time and packets should not be returned. If you have questions or concerns or need assistance in any way, please reach out to me at 928-635-4428 or cmorrison@wusd2.org. Thank you and be well, Dr. Morrison.
Greetings WHS Families: I hope this finds each of you well. Starting tomorrow (3/30/20), all WHS students will be able to access online educational opportunities via Google Classroom. For those that need to, hard copies (packets) are available at each WUSD food service location. Simply request a packet by teacher name when arriving at a WUSD food service station. Teachers will NOT be grading work at this time. Packets should NOT be returned. Google Hangouts, Google Classroom, Khan Academy, Zoom, & Rosetta Stone are WHS's preferred online apps/sites. Be on the lookout for more info from individual teachers as we head into the week. Thank you & be well.
I am available at eevans@wusd2.org. I can also make calls from Google Hangouts.

WHS SENIORS! Please read the message below re: Local Scholarships. Thank you!
This message is for seniors who have local scholarship applications to turn in. There will be a new way for you to turn those in to the school and thus an extension of the due date for these to be in. You now have until Tuesday March 31st at 3:00 pm for us to receive these applications digitally. There will be no exceptions to this deadline. The applications should be sent to jpowers@wusd2.org (Mr. Powers). You can scan them and email them to me. I have been told that you can also scan them using your phone’s camera through the Adobe Scan app (free).
I suggest you put a read and delivery receipt on your emails so you know Mr. Powers has read it and a follow up email would be a good idea too. Please send each application separately (different attachments in the same email titled with the sponsors name/organization of the scholarship). Do NOT send all applications in one single scan. If you do not have the ability to send these digitally, please contact Mr. Powers by email before the day of the deadline.
Mr. Powers
Greetings WHS Families: During this time of uncertainty & uneasiness, we want to make sure, in addition to providing educational opportunity for WHS students, that we also have a way to share & remind folks of resources in our area for emotional/mental health & support. An email will be out shortly with some links to services, including ways to contact Mr. Powers, our school counselor, if needed. Be Well. We are thinking of all of you.
The WHS Team

Greetings WHS Families and Student Athletes:
Please see the message below from the AIA:
Arizona Governor Doug Ducey recently announced that all statewide schools will be closed through Friday, April 10. With this directive, the AIA and its Executive Board must abide by this decision and require that all AIA member schools not partake in interscholastic competition until further notified.
The spring sports championships are still not cancelled at this point. However, discussions for the administration of any postseason tournaments will not take place until after schools are back in session.
The AIA will continue to monitor the communications from the governor’s office and make decisions accordingly. In the meantime, we want all of our student-athletes, coaches and teachers to stay safe and follow all health department advisories.
Hi all, Governor Ducey and Supt Hoffman have extended the school closures another two weeks through April 10th. Please watch the video at: https://azgovernor.gov/governor/news/2020/03/governor-ducey-superintendent-hoffman-announce-two-week-extension-school
