Due to a rescheduled JV Football game, tonight's Homecoming PowderPuff Football Game will now kickoff at 7:00 pm.
Friday, September 30, is the first scheduled Extended Homeroom Day of the school year. Students have already been informed by their homeroom teachers if a teacher has requested that they remain in school Friday afternoon for extra help or to make up missed work. Students who have been requested by a teacher are required to be in attendance until the regular 3:15 dismissal time. Students who have not been officially requested by a teacher may leave school at 2:02, however, buses will run at the normal times. Tomorrow's bell schedule can be found at https://whs.wwusd.org/o/whs/page/extended-homeroom-bell-schedule.
Wednesday, October 5 is the annual Homecoming Lip Sync competition. Although there is NO admission charge, WHS Class Leaders will be doing a collection for the WUSD Family Emergency Fund. We invite our community members and families who are attending to make a donation to this worthy cause which supports our district families in times of need. We will announce the community donation total during halftime of the Friday night Football game. Finally, WHS Class Leaders also wish to invite parents to tour the decorated hallways upstairs prior to enjoying the Lip Sync event. Please come see the festive and colorful halls that keep us in the homecoming spirit all week. #TheWhippetWay #1Family

Dear Parents/Guardians,
Safety is the top priority in Whitewater Unified School District (WUSD). Next week, the schools will be conducting WAVE system safety drills. WAVE, is our active shooter alert system, that initiates a sound to alert students of an intruder and immediately alerts our police departments. We will be practicing our established safety procedures for threats to schools with a lockdown drill on the following dates:
Lincoln Elementary - Tuesday, September 13
Whitewater High School and Lakeview Elementary - Wednesday, September 14
Washington Elementary - Thursday, September 15
Whitewater Middle School - Friday, September 16
We wanted to make you aware that this is a drill, that all students and staff are safe, and that these are not due to a threat to our schools. The WAVE drills allow our students and staff to be well prepared in the event of an actual emergency.
Dr. Caroline Pate-Hefty
Superintendent

Estimados padres/tutores,
La seguridad es la prioridad número uno en el Distrito Escolar Unificado de Whitewater (WUSD). La próxima semana, las escuelas estarán realizando simulacros de seguridad con el sistema WAVE. WAVE, es nuestro sistema de alerta de tirador activo, que inicia un sonido para alertar a los estudiantes de un intruso e inmediatamente alerta a nuestros departamentos de policía. Estaremos practicando nuestros procedimientos de seguridad establecidos para las amenazas a las escuelas con un simulacro de cierre en las siguientes fechas:
Primaria Lincoln - martes, 13 de septiembre
Escuela Preparatoria Whitewater y Primaria Lakeview - miércoles, 14 de septiembre
Primaria Washington - jueves, 15 de septiembre
Escuela Media Whitewater - viernes, 16 de septiembre
Queríamos hacerles saber que se trata de un simulacro, que todos los estudiantes y el personal están a salvo, y que estos no se deben a una amenaza a nuestras escuelas. Los simulacros de WAVE permiten que nuestros estudiantes y el personal estén bien preparados en caso de una emergencia real.
Dr. Caroline Pate-Hefty
Superintendente
