Waterford High School

Respect, compassion, and integrity are at the core of all we do

Principal's Corner

Hey Lancers!

The school year starts Wednesday morning, and after two days of preparation, the WHS faculty is excited to have you all back with us. Here are a few quick reminders to make sure you are ready for the day:

• Masks: Per the Governor’s executive order, masks are still required when on school buses or indoors at school. We will schedule mask breaks during the day to make sure you have opportunities to remove them safely, and they will not be required when you are outdoors.
• Chromebook Distribution: We will be providing all students a 1-to-1 Chromebook for their use throughout the school year, but before we can issue them, we need parents to complete the short “WPS Device Agreement” google form. The form explains the expectations and policies for school-issued Chromebooks and lets you select either to take a school-issued Chromebook or to provide your child with their own BYOD device, so please complete the form as soon as possible for each of your children in grades 4-12. The link to the form is: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSciZZ2wwJEaI3cVkA-xNqr6C82ETF1t7HJAU_R_80AWj3vuJw/viewform
• First Week Schedule: We will start the day in Advisory on Wednesday and Thursday, then switch to our regular daily schedule on Friday. All students should report to Advisory on the first two days – late arrival privilege for those who qualify will begin after late arrival forms are submitted and approved.
• Parking Permits: Students driving to school can pick up a parking permit application in the second floor office. Students will be permitted to drive to school this week prior to getting a permit for the year. If you are driving to school, remember to give yourself some extra time in the morning, as traffic can be heavy at the start of the school day.
