Attention Junior Students and Parents/Guardians:

On Wednesday, February 20 and Thursday, February 21, Wilmot Union High School will be administering the ACT plus Writing and ACT WorkKeys examinations. Both tests are state mandated for all 11th grade students.

The February 20th ACT Test will provide you with information about your progress toward college readiness and is widely used by colleges in making decisions about admission. The ACT test includes multiple-choice tests in English, Reading, Mathematics, and Science, as well as an essay writing test.

Your success on these exams is very important to your future plans and to our school, so on day one, February 20, we are going to dismiss you early to relax after a job well done! Additionally, we would like to celebrate your hard work with a “Junior’s Pizza Party” following the ACT test on day one.

On February 21, Juniors will take ACT WorkKeys, a paper‐pencil test consisting of three subtests: Applied Mathematics, Locating Information, and Reading for Information. The purpose of this assessment is to compare students’ skills to those required in the work environment. Unlike February 20, this is a full school day. Classes will run on a customary Thursday block schedule with Juniors testing until 11 a.m. and then resuming their regular school day.

The schedule for both days can be found HERE .
The next WI Mathematics League Contest is scheduled for
February 12, 2019 in room 223 @ 7:00am.
If interested, talk to your math teacher! Any student in Algebra 2 or higher course may participate.

Upcoming WI Mathematics League Contest Dates:

Schedule Changes

Each year a new master schedule is created to accommodate students' course requests. Counselors meet with all students in February to review course requests. Faculty members are employed, textbooks are purchased, and rooms are assigned based on these requests. 

For these reasons, course requests for the 2019-2020 school year are finalized on May 1, 2019 . 
Changes after that date will only be allowed for the following reasons:

1) You haven't met the prerequisite for a course
2) You have already taken and passed that course

Course Level Changes

On occasion, once the school year has started, students may need to change the level of the class in which they are enrolled (ex. from an Honors to regular level course). Level changes are a collaborative effort between parents, the student, the teacher, and the school counselor and cannot be approved until all parties involved have been able to discuss the change. Level changes will be made whenever it is deemed appropriate by all involved.  

The letter grade earned at the time of the level change will accompany the student to the new class. Before a course level change can be approved the student must follow the Educational Problem Solving process found on page 15 in the WUHS Course Guide.
TEACHER APPRECIATION NIGHT
On February 1, 2019, the Wilmot Athletic Department hosted it's
first ever Teacher Appreciation Night at the
Girls and Boys Basketball games vs. Union Grove.

 All of the teachers at the school were invited and asked to sit in a reserved seating section. Each player was asked to select a teacher who had the greatest influence on them while they were in school. They then sent out invitations with special notes explaining to each teacher what they meant to them, and then each player was asked to come out and be introduced with their most influential teacher. Thank you to all who participated!

JUNIOR PANTHER DAYS
Our Link Crew wants to thank Randall for coming to Junior Panther Days on February 4th and we look forward to all of the
K-8 feeder schools coming this February! 
PANTHER PRIDES
Mr. Hopkins' class had a student-led science experiment and made slime. The students and the teaching assistants (TAs) worked together during this experiment, needing no help from Mr. Hopkins or the paraprofessionals. Mr. Hopkins and his team were so impressed with the collaborative work that they wanted to share it with all of us!
