At this time, we ask that parents stay where they are and remain available to receive updates and instructions if needed.
You will receive additional communications as soon as we have additional details and information.

Any students being checked out to participate in the HOCO parade today can only be checked out by the authorized adults that are listed in their Aspire account. For safety reasons, we cannot accept phone calls or notes. For attendance purposes, we are excusing students from 9:45 AM - 10:45 if they will be in the parade. Checkouts earlier than that will be considered an early checkout and students should come back immediately after the parade for the same reason.
We will be watching the WHS homecoming parade tomorrow morning. Please send your student with a bag to put their candy in. Plastic bags work great.
