Prom Pictures:
Liberty Hall notified us that their grounds are closed for restoration due to flooding. As you know, a lot of Frankfort was damaged by the recent flood. Please check with local areas prior to arriving for Prom pictures to make sure they are open.
Project Graduation Meeting:
Senior parents, join us for our next Project Graduation this weekend, April 27th, at Franklin County. The meeting will begin at 2:30 in the library. Please enter through the front doors. We look forward to seeing you there!
Also, this is the last call to order the grad yard signs. We will place our final order Monday afternoon, and we need all order forms and payments by noon on Monday. Order forms are at the WHHS front desk.
KSA Testing:
KSA testing will begin May 5 and run until May 8. This is a required assessment for both 10th and 11th graders.
During testing, students will not have access to their cellphones. We ask that you please refrain from texting or calling them during testing times, as we will ask students to turn their phones off. If there is an emergency and you need to get hold of your student, please call the front office, and the counselor will escort the student out of the testing room to speak to you.
If your students have a doctor's appointment during the testing days, please try to reschedule those. Students will need to be pulled for makeup testing when they are done.
