Wake County Public Schools Clear Bag Policy – As shared with families by WCPSS previously, a new clear bag policy will go into effect at WCPSS-Sponsored spectator events on high school campuses in order to increase safety beginning March 1st. As part of the new rule, spectators will be permitted to bring into events one clear bag no larger than 12” X 15” X 3” as well as
- A small, clear clutch bag/wristlet:
- Bags containing medically necessary items for that attendee’s assistance (e.g., oxygen tank): and
- Diaper bags.
For rules and FAQs are available at wcpss.net/bagrules. Individuals attending events may be subject to searches of their belongings consistent with governing law and Board policies. Event entry may be dependent on the inspection of any items. Spectators carrying prohibited bags may be denied entry.

Students were given their grade level course selection sheet, a copy of their credit detail sheet, and a copy of their teacher recommendations, during 2nd period on Monday 2/26.

Juniors - The counselors will hold Junior Conferences throughout the month of March. This is your student's opportunity to select course requests for the 2024-2025 school year, discuss their future plans and meet their counselor about other topics that are important as they are preparing for their final year at Wake Forest High School! Please have your student choose their appointment time by clicking on their counselor's name below (this was emailed to student on 2/20). Counselors will not call students out of class, so please make sure they remember their time and share it in advance with their teacher. They should come prepared to their conference with a completed course selection sheet (8 primary course requests and 3-5 alternate choices).
