Hey There Families! Don't forget that The Boys and Girls Club hosts its "Club Takeover" of WEMS every Friday! From 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. children are invited to the school for BGC activities in a safe, positive environment. Breakfast and lunch are provided. Remember that this is separate from Falcon Flyers, so it requires a separate application/emergency contact form to be completed. If you haven't filled this form out yet, please do so when you drop your child off tomorrow. #JoiningTogetherForSuccess
Greetings WHS Viking Families: It's hard to believe that there could be more exciting news, yet here we are. WHS is pleased to announce the formation of a student newspaper publication, called The Viking Post.
Mrs. Schober's ELA 10 Honors class will be producing student publications of all of the student related happenings at WHS.
This will be a great way for students to stay connected with the wonderful and exciting events happening on their campus.
Greetings Vikings! The exciting news just keeps coming. Our Viking Band, led by our new Band Director, Mr. Gael Zambrano, will be performing at sporting events this year for our athletes and our fans! We are also looking at short performances for the Lady Vikings Volleyball team as well.
Their first performance will be at the Williams Vikings vs. Desert Heights Prep Academy scrimmage Friday, Sept. 25th at 4:00 pm.
We are thrilled that our Band will still be able to perform locally, despite competitions being cancelled.
More good WHS Vikings news still to come!

Important Message for Our Remote Learning Families in Kinder, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades. The state of Arizona requires all remote learners to complete reading and math beginning of the year assessments within the first 6 weeks of school. For kinder through 3rd graders, this assessment will be in person at WEMS next week and will take 45 minutes. We've called and arranged appointments with many families already for next Wednesday, Sept. 9th and Thursday, Sept. 10th. If we couldn't reach you or you don't know your appointment time, you need to call the school on Tuesday. Tuesday will be 1st grade (12-2 p.m.) and 2nd grade (2-3:30 p.m.). Wednesday will be 3rd grade (1:30-2:30) and kindergarten (2:30-3:30 p.m.). Siblings in different grades will be grouped together for your convenience. Thank you in advance for bringing your child in and keeping them in good standing with the AZ Department of Education. --Dr. Morrison

Girls on the Run (3rd-5th) & Heart and Sole (6th-8th) registration is open! Practice starts next week. Teams are limited to 12 girls. Practices are Tue/Thu. Register at https://www.gotrna.org
Fall 2020 is a 100% virtual season! All girls and coaches will participate via computer or by calling into practices on a phone. Virtual lessons are 45 minutes long, conducted on Zoom, are lead by trained and background-checked volunteer coaches, and include all of the same great lesson topics and activities as in-person lessons. There will be adapted physical activity during the virtual lesson. We end the Virtual session with movement that we do together to get the girls physically warmed-up and ready to transition straight into a workout assignment on their own - at sign-off, girls will be given a "take-home" goal to run or walk with a family member.
Registration for Girls on the Run or Heart & Sole includes: 16 virtual team practices with certified coaches who deliver life-changing lessons, journal, program shirt, entry into the Virtual 5K, and a K Your Way commemorative bracelet.
If you wish to request financial assistance, please answer all registration questions. Requests for financial assistance are honored on the final page of registration.
Contact Gabi Uebel at guebel@wusd2.org if you need assistance with registration or have questions.
Girls on the Run is so much fun! Heart & Sole is how we roll!
Greetings Viking Families: as promised, we continue to seek solutions that streamline the WHS online learning environment. Today, I am pleased to roll out 2 very important items to increase the simplicity & efficiency of the online environment.
1. A universal way to take daily attendance:
In Google Classroom, students will go to "Classwork" and then Daily Attendance Topic/Heading. Click on the Google Forms Sign In for that Daily Attendance assignment & click on the one question that states something like "I am here and present for class today". It will send the teacher a date and timestamp of your log in/check in. Do this for every class, every day/time you go into Google Classroom.
2. A master Zoom schedule for online learners .
