Greetings WHS Families: WUSD & WHS would like to share with you a newer/updated feature to our district website.

From the home screen of the district website, click on "REPORT A BULLYING INCIDENT: help yourself, help others" icon. Definitions are provided to help clarify and best report the type of incident that occurred/is occurring. Thank you!
On Friday, our Forensic Science/Law Enforcement students competed at Glendale Community College. The ladies comprised the CSI team & the Gents were the criminal justice team. This was a SkillsUSA Competition. What a fun day in the Valley of the Sun for a great group of kids
This Thursday, WEMS elementary students (K-5) have the opportunity to participate in JumpRope for Heart in their Fit Kids classes. Student do not need to have fundraised in order to participate, but do need to turn in a signed permission slip. Students can pick up an extra permission slip this week so they can participate on Thursday. Our goal: 100% of students jumping rope together on Thursday for heart health!
Friday, some of our top CTE welding students went to Flag to compete in the Regional Qualifiers for State!
Congratulations to our Boys "B" and "C" Basketball Teams! After battling all day, the B Team took second place and the C Team took third at their tournament today... two trophies coming back to WEMS on Monday!
Another fun Friday with games, projects, and yummy food at Falcon Flyers!
Congratulations to our Falcon "A" Basketball Team, who beat Chino Valley today to bring home the championship trophy! Great job, boys, and thanks to all the coaches for a wonderful season!

Thanks to Williams Alliance for the Arts and Kris Williams especially for sponsoring a visit from photographer and documentary filmmaker Efren Lopez this past week. Mr Lopez held a Q&A session after sharing his documentary with our 8th graders. Very powerful film about his military service in Afghanistan. What a great addition to the Identity through Photography project! You can view the photographs from our students' participation in this project at The Gallery in Williams throughout the month of April.
What a great community event with huge support and turnout! WUSD # 2 was in attendance. A great event to connect community resources and needs all in one!

Friendly reminder for our Seniors and their parents, FAFSA Night is tonight 5-7 PM in room 15. Seniors who are planning on attending any type of training after high school should fill out the FAFSA as there might be awards that can help you pay for your continuing education. Even if you haven’t decided if you will attend a college, university, or trade school maybe an award of over $6,000 that you do not have to pay back would help you decide. The application is free. It takes about 20-30 minutes to fill out.
