Picture Retake Day is December 8th

If your scholar wishes to retake their picture, please ensure that your scholar brings their original picture package with them and provides to the photographer that day. The original package will then be replaced with the retake package once ready.

If your scholar was absent on picture day and needs to get their picture taken, please ensure you inform them to get their picture taken on this day.

Attendance

Attendance matters! Here’s why:



• Our campus funding is dependent on scholars attending school. This is the number one way WH receives funding from the state.
• The amount we receive from the state is based on our average daily attendance. Every day your scholar attends school our campus receives over $45 in state funding. 

How you can help us:

• If your scholar is out sick, please send an email or doctor's note to our attendance mailbox at attendance@greatheartswesternhills.org for each day(s) your scholar is out sick.
• Please be sure to have your scholar in their classes when attendance is taken each day at 9:50 AM.

Dear Western Hills Families,

Our grand GHWH Winter Concert is approaching! We are so excited for your family to experience

the fruits of your scholars’ hard work, as they have been diligently preparing their concert music

throughout the semester.

• Our 3 - 5th Winter Concert will take place on Friday, December 9th at 6:00 PM at the Edgewood Theater of Performing Arts, located on 402 Lance St. 78237.

All sections of each grade will be performing together as a choir.

Students are required to stay for the entire length of their concert because they will be graded not just on their performance but also on their concert etiquette.

More details about the call time for students will be given as the concert date approaches.

Students are to wear Concert Dress Attire. This means:

• Boys should wear a white oxford-style shirt, black slacks, a black belt, black shoes and socks, and a black necktie (no pop culture or musical ties).
• Girls should wear a white blouse (no halter tops or spaghetti straps), a black skirt (knee-length or longer) or black dress pants, black dress shoes (no high heels), and black or white knee socks or tights. Girls may also wear a solid black dress if this is preferable. No distracting

If your child is unable to attend the Winter Concert, please email Ms. Smith (3 - 5 Music) by Friday, November 18th at stephanie.smith@greatheartswesternhills.org.

December 12th to 16th will be a spirit-filled Week for GHWH! Scholars and Faculty are invited to join in our campus-wide Spirit Week, celebrating the season of joy and giving. Each day will have a new challenge to show your spirit.

The week will also be filled with amazing opportunities to donate. The Community Investment campaign is the #1 most important way for families to support the school. Our faculty's salaries and your scholar's classroom needs depend on the donations made to this campaign.

All money raised during the 5 Days of Giving goes to our school Community Investment campaign and helps us reach our goal. We could not make this school successful without our families supporting this campaign! More festive details to come on this week of giving.
