Good evening, WFHS Families,

 

This will be the last message for 2024. I hope each one has a restful holiday break. As a reminder January 3rd is now a teacher workday and students' first day back to school will be Monday, January 6th.

 

Final exams for the fall will be given in January. I have attached the exam schedule, and it is located on our school website.

 

Library Book Return Raffle

We are collecting all of our library books! Any student who returns their checked-out books by Wednesday, January 8th will have their name entered into a drawing for a gift card. Their name can be entered for each book returned. We would love to have back any book that has been checked out during their time here at Wake Forest.
