Dress Code Reminders - With Spring upon us, I want to remind students and families about our dress code policy. Our school has a dress code under the same premise that any business or workplace etc. will have a dress code. Below is the partial narrative from our "Student Handbook" on Dress & Grooming expectations. Here is the link to our handbook and a link to School Board Policy 5511 on Dress & Grooming for anyone to reference.
Dress and Grooming (5511)
Students are prohibited from the wearing of hats, hoods, or other headwear (including hoodies) and coats or jackets in school on regular school days. The Principal of any school may allow exceptions to this policy for any legitimate reason (religious, medical, or otherwise) or in the celebration of a specified pep rally, spirit day, or hat day.
Any clothing, jewelry, body art, or any accessory advertising alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs are at a counter purpose with district AODA programs and therefore deemed inappropriate. Students should dress appropriately for school and must refrain from wearing items that display excessive midriffs, low-cut tops, and undergarments. Students who violate the above rules/guidance will not be admitted to class and may be suspended from school.
Senior Vs. Staff Basketball Game - The staff wins again!!!! Not sure what the final score was, but it was a double-digit margin in victory, though I will say the students put up a good fight and stayed around longer than many teams have in the past!!. In my previous blog post, I shared a picture of me after our last staff championship game holding the trophy and donning my Waukesha Celtics warm-up top and my Waukesha East-side all-star shorts! I am 84% sure this is me surrounded by our staff team with our newest championship trophy, though I do not really even resemble my previous picture! Way to go West staff!!
Graduation 2023 - Graduation day for all three Waukesha legacy high schools will be Saturday, June 10th, 2023. Waukesha West High School will be holding graduation ceremonies in the West Fieldhouse on this date beginning at 1:00 P.M. As we are one community divided into three high schools, graduation times among all three high schools are staggered to enable friends and family to attend multiple ceremonies if they so choose. South High School ceremonies will begin at 9:00 A.M. and North High School ceremonies will begin at 11:00 A.M. on this date. Please begin informing friends and family who will be attending!
Scholarship Blog is active!! - This scholarship blog site is linked here and is accessible through our school website. Students can search for all the different scholarships available such as West only, Local, WEF (Waukesha Educational Foundation), State, and National scholarships. Pay close attention to deadlines as some applications will not be available until the New Year. You can also sign up to receive email alerts each time a new scholarship is uploaded. Please see Mrs. Brown in Student Services with any questions or email her at jbrown@waukesha.k12.wi.us
