Hello, this is Wade Martin calling from WSHS with our first Friday Storm Report of the school year.

• Let’s start with a reminder that the first day of school is next Tuesday, August 27th.  We are ready and very excited to kick off the school year.

• Tonight is our first Friday Night Home Football game vs New Bern HS.  Game time is 7:00.  We hope to see all of our Storm families here tonight!

• We are strongly encouraging all families to set up their student accounts in the new online school payment system SchoolCash Online.  We will be using this for class dues for all students 9-12th, field trip payments, ticket purchases for dances, etc.  The directions for setting up your account can be found on our website under the Parent header.  By setting up your account, parents will get notification emails when events happen that students will have access to attend or participate with.

• Please remember to be patient with school bus transportation and carpool for the first week of school.  It will be a little crazy for a few days but everything will get back to normal with patience and understanding from students and parents as we work with you to solve problems that may arise.

Again, we are very excited for our students to return for the new school year.  We look forward to partnering with you to support your students and our school!  Make it a great weekend and we will see you all next week.  Go Storm!
