Thank you to all the families who were able to support the Falcon Pride Yard Stencil and Pallet Promotion for the upcoming Spirit Week. The SkillsUSA Team and WHS Cheer Squad have kicked it into high gear in order to meet the demand of all the orders. Because of this great success, the pallets sold out yesterday. You will still be able to place a stencil order through this weekend by clicking here. Both teams are planning on upgrading the promotion next year for Homecoming by personalizing the Falcon with your students’ sport, club, team number, graduation year, etc. Lots of great ideas are being discussed.
As a reminder, the half price special on Whitnall Falcon Booster Club memberships is ongoing through the end of December. Please click here to purchase. The money you invest in membership is turned around in the form of support for student projects such as the Stencil/Pallet Initiative.

WHS Photo Retake Day will be Tuesday, October 20. (Exact times to be finalized.) This is for students who have already had their photo taken and would like a retake to purchase photos. This is also for students who have not yet had their photo taken this year. All students -- whether on-site or a distance learner -- need to have a photo taken each year for Infinite Campus, the yearbook, and an ID. (Photo Retake Day is not for students who just want a new photo for the student ID.) Photos are available to view and order within a week after photo day. Since you can view your images online, prints will not be replaced once they are ordered. If you’d like to be notified when upcoming photos are ready to view, click here. To place your order after photo day, follow these steps:
2. Type in Whitnall High School
3. Click on “School portraits”
4. Enter your student’s information
Photos will be sent to your home. If you have questions about the ordering process, email support@vipis.com.

WMS Picture Makeup Day will be Tuesday, October 13th.
How to order school portraits:
For safety and convenience, this year, all orders will be placed online. Images will be posted to view and order within a week after your photo day. You'll receive an email alert when images are ready to view, and all orders will be delivered to your home. To place your order after photo day, go to vipis.com. For additional options and information, email support@vipis.com.
Distance learning students who would like a retake should plan to arrive between 8-10 am or contact the office at 525-8660 to schedule a time.
