**Student supplies for the 2025-2026 school year are going to be purchased by the school. The $50 school fees will cover those costs. If your child wants a backpack, headphones, zipper binder, lunch bag, water bottle, gym clothes, etc., they are not covered in the fees and can be purchased by parents/guardians.
***Starting in the 2025–2026 school year, WHMS will follow a 5-day schedule. That means the first day of school for students — Thursday, September 4 — will be Day 1. Wednesday, September 10 will be Day 5, and Thursday, September 11 will circle back to Day 1.
If there’s an unexpected closure (like a snow day or power outage), we skip that day in the schedule. For example, if school is closed due to a snow day on a Day 2, the next school day will be Day 3.
If the closure is planned (like a PD Day or holiday), we don’t assign a day to it — we simply continue counting after the closure. For example, in 2025, Remembrance Day falls on a Tuesday. That week, Monday will be Day 4, and Wednesday will be Day 5.
