Hello Huskies,

 

AP exams begin on Monday, May 1 and continue through May 12 for over 700 students.  Several AP exams are off-campus.  There is critical information to know and tasks to complete to ensure access to exams (transportation permission forms, bus requests, and more!).  Learn more here.

 

Teacher appreciation week is coming in a little over a week.  If you would like to share thanks to any staff member, please submit through the following link:

We need your feedback.  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.  Survey closes on May 12.  Access survey by going to bit.ly/WCPSSFamilySurvey

 

It is time to begin preparing for our Awards Day on June 2.  If your student has been recognized for an accomplishment or achievement this year from a community-based organization, we’d like to know about it.  Complete this form at tinyurl.com/heritagehsawards or here by Monday, May 15.

 

All students have received a list of their requested courses for the 2023-2024 school year.  Please review this list with your student and make any necessary changes.  Students should return the list to Student Services ASAP, no later than May 26, even if no changes are made.  Contact your child’s counselor with questions.  If the course verification form has been misplaced, students should stop by Student Services or email their counselor for another copy.
