WHS IN SEARCH OF COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS
The WHS Portfolio Committee is seeking community members to be a part of the listening audiences on Wednesday, May 22, 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. We are hoping for at least 15 Whitewater Community members to participate. Community members willing to attend the presentations can email lmoll@wwusd.org or call 262-472-8203 to sign up by Friday, May 3.
Members of the Whitewater High School Class of 2024 are currently preparing for the annual Portfolio Event which will be held on Wednesday, May 22, 4:00-7:00 p.m. at the high school.
This event for seniors allows them to showcase their academic achievements, celebrate their accomplishments, and share their postsecondary career and academic plans before graduation. To make the presentations more meaningful, students present to an audience of WHS staff members and members of the community along with family and friends who are invited to attend.
Students present examples of their best work in core academic and elective areas, share 2 or more examples of their involvement in activities in and outside of school, or work experiences, and at least one service activity that had special significance. Students then describe their future career & educational plans and the pathway they have chosen to accomplish their career goals. Graduates end their presentation by summarizing the most important learning experiences they’ve had in high school and how they hope to use their knowledge and skills to become a productive and responsible member of society.
We are looking forward to having our community support for this event.

Whitewater High School is proud to partner with Gateway Technical College to offer Dual Credit opportunities which allow our students to earn college credit for free while still in high school, including 19 GTC classes taught by WHS staff!
The benefits of dual credit add up, including:
* Thousands of dollars saved: Through dual credit, students earn college credit worth hundreds or thousands of dollars for free. That means that when they start college, they’ll have less tuition costs.
* Career exploration: Dual credit gives students a more in-depth look at possible career paths, as well as hands-on learning opportunities.
* Quick career entry: By beginning to earn college credit in high school, they’ll jumpstart their education, allowing them to graduate faster and enter their career path as soon as possible.
Learn more information about Dual Credit opportunities at GTC by attending the Virtual Information session next week (See flyer for registration information).
IMPORTANT REMINDER: There will be no school for students on Thursday or Friday of this week. These days will be dedicated to teacher in-service.
After-school activities and athletics for the Whitewater Unified School District will be canceled Tuesday, January 23 due to inclement weather.

In order to accommodate other school activities, the ACT Workshop originally scheduled for Saturday, February 3 has been changed to Saturday, February 17, 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 in the LMC. Please find the flyer attached. This opportunity provides students practice testing under testing conditions and tips for success on each part of the test.
I apologize for the early-morning delay. I know that is hard on families, that is why I really try to make the call the night prior if possible. I will be watching conditions closely through the day. Ice/sleet wintery mix is difficult to predict as the call is more about the impact than the conditions. I am confirming we will begin school following the 2 hour delay:
9:50 Elementary
9:55 MS
9:50 HS (see alt schedule for finals sent out by Mr. Mansky)
It has been confirmed that we will reopen after a two hour delay.
We will follow the schedule that was previously shared and begin at 9:50am with the 3rd period exam.
Updated high school semester exam schedule for Monday, January 22, based on a two-hour weather delay.
