Survey on Class Rank
Following a roundtable discussion on class rank, we are soliciting further input. Parents of alumni (graduating classes of '15, '16, '17, '18) should have received an email to forward to their graduated child. This email contains a link to a survey on class rank. If you have not yet forwarded this email, please do so. And please encourage your alumnus' participation.
Pay Day
On June 11, we will be hosting a personal finance simulation for our 200 juniors at Whitnall High School. This event is called "Pay Day" and will run from 7:45 – 10:45 AM in the WHS Gym. We are looking for businesses or organizations that are interested in participating. To make this a successful event, we will need many volunteers!

Art, Music, and World Language Survey
We are currently conducting a program review / program visioning for the areas of K-12 art, music, and world language in the Whitnall School District. Since we don't have vision statements or goals for any of the programs, we aren't really conducting a review of the programs in terms of effectiveness, as there haven't been any established expectations.

Our goal is to develop a program vision for each of the three programs so we have common language and expectations for all stakeholders. Having a program vision allows the district to align resources (personnel, facilities, curriculum, offerings, schedules) to that vision. Whenever there are changes to be considered, it is important to align the decisions and changes around the vision.

We are soliciting feedback from the community, parents, staff, and students--both program and non-program participants. We have conducted interviews and are now conducting surveys. Please take time to complete our survey regarding the current and future programming for art, music, and world language. The survey will be open through June 10, 2019.
