Wolverine Weekly

Dear Wolverine Families,

Good two-way communication between families and schools is necessary for our students’ success. Not surprisingly, research shows that the more parents and teachers share relevant information with each other about a student, the better equipped both will be to help that student achieve academically. Our students deserve that. I strive to communicate clearly and concisely. I try to be present and accessible to students as well as their parents. Discussions often result in the sharing of innovative thinking as it relates to our approach to teaching and learning. This makes education fresh, engaging, and relevant for our students. As your family and student navigate the school year, know that our dedicated staff is here to support and guide you every step of the way. I look forward to a year filled with excitement, learning, and shared achievements!

Absences:

If your student is absent or tardy, please send the excuse to whhs.attendance@franklin.kyschools.us or have your student drop the note off in the front office. Pupils are required to attend regularly and punctually to the school in which they are enrolled. For questions, please review the FCS Attendance Policy.

Chromebook Fees via My School Bucks:

Keep forgetting to send money to pay your student's Chromebook fees? Don't worry, you can now pay them online by going to www.myschoolbucks.com. Here is an instruction sheet on how to get these paid.

Sports Pass 2025-2026:

All WHHS students will get in free to games this school year. If you would like to purchase an adult or family pass, please fill out the Sports Pass application and return it to the front office.

FFA Fall Decorations and Mums:

It is that time again where the cool temps are just around the corner. Let us deliver your fall decorations to you. We will deliver the package you want and then set it up in the location that you want at your house or place of business.

You can pick up your Mums every weekday from 3:30 to 5:30ish. Thank you for supporting our WHHS Agriculture Department. Fall Display Flyer, FFA Fall Decorations Order Form and Mums Order Flyer
