TOP FLIGHT ~ EDUCATORS ON THE RISE!

A new program that we are implementing to further support our efforts in preparing students for success as 21st Century Learners. Your HSHS faculty and staff work diligently to provide a positive, dynamic, and student-focused learning environment. Our school's Positive Behavior Intervention Support Team (PBIS) recognizes and rewards students that model strength of character, hard work, and responsible citizenship. We would now like to extend this recognition and begin sharing good news and success stories about the adults that work with your children each day.

The WCPSS 10th Grade Student Survey process is now underway for 2013.  The goal of this annual survey is to collect data on students' perceptions of the school environment so that schools can use the information for evaluative and planning purposes.  The surveys also allow WCPSS to examine these perceptions across the district as a whole.

10th grade students currently enrolled in English II will take the survey during class on 4/16/13 or 4/17/13.  All other 10th graders not currently enrolled in English II should access the survey between now and May 10th.  This survey link will be accessible until Friday, May 10th.  The 20 question survey should take each student about 5-10 minutes to complete.  Students can access the link from home or visit the media center before school, during lunch, or afterschool to complete the survey.
