Parents and Family members were invited to give their input as to how they would like to have communications from the school. This occurred during a Fall Parent Teacher Conference session. The best ways to implement effective parent and family engagement activities to improve student academic achievement and overall school performance were discussed.

As a result of this meeting and the parent input that was gathered WHS will work to ensure that it is: removing any barriers to engagement of parents, working to identify any needs that parents and families that are preventing them from helping with their child’s learning, and implement strategies to support successful family- school interactions.
