LATEST NEWS!

SCHOLARSHIPS ARE DUE APRIL 1, 2009!
 
In our advisor/advisee program we’ve been exploring topics in the career, academic, and personal/social fields to align with the American School Counseling Association’s National Model.
 Don’t forget to keep checking grades online and ask your kids about their homework after looking at lesson plans online.  It’s important to keep the lines of communication open to helping your child succeed in school.  You will receive your child’s quarter grades during your conferences and semester grades will be mailed to you after the semester ends in Jan.  These will be in the form of transcripts so that you may be familiar with your child’s credits to date and can help monitor your child’s progress through Woodward-Granger High School.

Have a great semester.

  Keep encouraging your children to do their homework. You can look at their grades online to see what your child's current grade is and look at the IOWA PAGES to see a teacher's plans and homework from week to week.
 
Two week grades were taken before the break. Please check your child's grades online.  We continue to have extra help sessions on Monday's and Thursday's and your child is encouraged to attend!

Everyone must sign up for all PSEO classes BY WINTER BREAK DECEMBER 19. Every student has been given AMPLE notice to register for classes so please come in and sign the forms if you and your child would still like to register for a pseo class.  2nd Semester PSEO kids will have an overlapping of 2nd semester DMACC classes and wghs classes and it is the RESPONSIBILITY of the STUDENT to work out their classes here at WGHS and DMACC so as to minimize time away from each place and to not miss FINALS here at WGHS.

The semester is almost over. Keep encouraging your child to study without distractions and work hard until the semester is over. Our semester ends Jan 16, 2009. Transcripts will be sent showing all grades and credits through 1st semester 2008.

Remember that after the semester starts on Jan 20, 2008, your child will have 3 days to drop and add a class at wghs so long as they don't have more than 1 study hall and up to 2 weeks to drop a class without taking a F on their transcript.

If your child did NOT take a dmacc class this Fall, You the parent will need to come into my office to sign the 4 forms before I will register your child for classes. This gives me the opportunity to go over all of the new forms from dmacc as many things have changed.

Seniors-1st sem should be spent doing all college applications and 2nd semester should be finding the $$$$$$$$$$$$ 

REMEMBER THAT AFTER THIS DATE, DROPS ONLY WILL BE MADE IF AND ONLY IF YOU ONLY WILL HAVE 1 STUDY HALL. Per the Woodward-Granger handbook, a student may declare a class pass/fail within the 1st two weeks of class.

Our 1st semester ends January 11, 2008. At that time semester grades will be completed and sent out as transcripts to every high school student.

Students will go over their transcripts in their hawcs groups. Schedules may be adjusted based upon grades and needing to repeat a class.

Please encourage your child to continue to work hard!
