Good Evening! Unit 9 schools will begin our after school program starting November 4th. All WCHS students who are currently earning an F (or more than one F) will be required to stay for the tutoring portion of this program. This will take place on Wednesday, Nov 4th and Thursday, Nov 5th and will begin immediately after school. This will continue every week throughout the school year. Our focus is to work together to support our students in order for them to find success and earn expected credits for graduation. The session will end at 3:05pm and bus transportation home will be available. We appreciate your support!
