In the event of severe weather, the district may use E-Learning days instead of snow days this school year. We hope it will be a while before we have to think about having to make that kind of decision, but the district e-learning plan is linked below for your reference. It can also be found on the district webpage under either the WGS or WHS tabs.

Your child's teacher will communicate to the students how e-learning instruction will be delivered, or send that information home with your child. If you have any questions, please ask your child's teacher.

REMINDER: Parent/Teacher conferences are Tuesday, Oct 20 and Tuesday Oct 27 from 3:30-6:30 at both WGS and WHS
