WFHS Principal Update - Week of April 14th

Good evening WFHS Students and Families,

Report cards will be distributed on April 19th.

Panorama Family Survey

WCPSS is administering a Family Survey from April 8-May 17. The survey provides families the opportunity to provide valuable information used for planning and School Improvement. 

We believe your feedback is important for creating and strengthening our partnership with families. Helping students do their best in school requires a team effort. Parents, students, and schools all play important roles in this process. Help us make your child's school experience as positive and beneficial as possible by giving honest, thoughtful responses to the questions in our family survey.

The link to access the survey is: http://surveys.panoramaed.com/wakecounty/family.

Senior Cap and Gown Pickup – Parents if your student did not pick up their cap and gown regalia on March 19th you the parent can come and pick it up in the front office between now and May 3rd. Students may not come to the front office to pick it up.

There will be a second and final pick-up day on May 6th. To guarantee delivery by that date students need to order by Monday, April 22nd.

English Language Learners/Multi-Language Learner Family Night – April 24, 2024 at East Millbrook Middle School. Families of Multi-Language Learners please joins for the informative night from 5:30-7:30.

Student Services News

The first round of course registration for the 24-25 school year has come to an end. On April 19th all students will receive updated teacher recommendations and verification sheet. The verification sheet will need to be signed by a parent/guardian and returned to student services OR their 2nd period teacher. This is students' ONLY chance at changing their requests based on preferences. Student schedules will not be changed at the start of the new school year, only corrected based on errors. 

If your student signed up for an AP course for next school year, an AP agreement form MUST also be turned in with their verification sheet (if they have not already turned it in). 

If your student is signing up for Wake Tech CCP classes, they should be turning in an Early Release/Late Arrival form by the end of the school year. As well as a Dual Enrollment form by the start of next school year. 

12th graders only can ALSO turn in the Early Release/Late Arrival form for reasons other than Wake Tech CCP. 

ALL FORMS CAN BE FOUND HERE

Students in 10th -12th grades with last names L-Ri: Ms. Peasley has left Wake Forest High School for other opportunities. Students/Parents in that caseload should contact our Dean of Students, Lisette Pike (lpike@wcpss.net) until a new counselor is hired in her place.
