WFHS Principal Update - Week of December 9th

 

Good evening, WFHS Families,

 

We are halfway through the 2nd quarter and students should receive an Interim in each of their classes this week.

 

Student Services News

The Wake Tech CCP Team is currently conducting the Spring 2025 Course Self-Registration Audit for all registered CCP students!

NOTE: ALL CCP waitlisted courses have been dropped. Students will be dropped from courses that are deemed "out of pathway" or "out of compliance" via the audit review process.

Students will receive updates via their Personal and Wake Tech email address regarding course registration updates.

Students can submit additional course requests beginning January 2nd via the Course Request Form. 

Students should review the Course Registration Onboarding PowerPoint and FERPA Guide for additional information prior to the start of courses. This has important information on attendance policies and more. Students can utilize the links that were sent to their WCPSS email (from Ms. Stoeckel) for more information on selecting additional courses, academic policies, and preparing for the first day of class.

The Business Alliance and Student Services hosted a FAFSA Open Lab this past Wednesday. We were about to assist students over 50 students throughout the day with their FAFSA application. We will hold another open lab in March. Look out for more information in the future. 

Student Services wants to make sure parents get the most out of our parent nights. Please fill out the survey linked below so we can better plan our 9th-11th grade and 12th grade parent nights in the future.  Future Parent Nigh Survey 

Student Services will be in 10th grade English classes this week to review graduation requirements, post high school planning, and completing an academic plan.

As we approach the holiday season, we want to ensure our students and families have access to important resources in case of a crisis. We have attached our Wake County Crisis Resource list for reference to this email.
