Dear HWW Students, Families and Community members, 

Thank you to all of the parents and guardians who contributed to the Staff Appreciation Breakfast held last Friday.  Staff were so appreciative of the generosity shown along with the kind written messages of appreciation that were shared.  We continue to feel so blessed to have such a supportive school community.  We would also like to thank those parents/guardians who were able to attend School Council this past Monday, it was great to connect—whether it was in person or online. 

Our next Wednesday Warrior will be on Wednesday, January 8, 2025. 

As we write this final update for December, we want to share a couple key reminders: 

1. Our final exam schedule and FAQs are posted on our school website. This has also been shared with families in our Wednesday Warrior.

2. Our Course registration process for 2025-2026 will follow our established process for our 20 and 30 level courses. This does not include IB or K&E programming.

· Teachers are well versed in the Program of Studies outcomes required at each course level and make personalized recommendations for the next course based on each student’s demonstration of learning.

· Data shows us that students who take courses aligned with teacher recommendation are often more successful in the course.

· For  2025-2026, course registration at the 20 and 30 level  will be according to teacher recommendation. If a student would like to be programmed outside of the teacher’s recommendation, and has the required pre-requisites, there will be a comprehensive process including conversation with teacher, parent/ guardian and admin/guidance team. 

· Please note that Semester 1 teachers will be contacting home for further discussion where there will be a recommendation for a change in course sequence. Please review this short information video for further details and reach out to your child’s teacher with any questions.

For all of the various holiday celebrations ahead, we are sending best wishes to all of our Warrior Families. May this be a time of rest, relaxation, and special times spent with loved ones.  Thank you for your partnership with us to support our Warriors for success.

See you in the new year, 

Teresa Martin

Principal
