Attn: WHS Parents / Students: Just a reminder that Back-To-School paperwork is due by August 12th. If you need to request another packet, please call the Principal's Office at 605-882-6316. You can drop off completed paperwork to the drop box outside the Student Entrance doors of the high school or mail them to the high school..

Student schedules are currently available to view, but please note that schedules may change as we are still working on the master schedule and teacher assignments.

Information about procedures for schedule change requests will become available on Wednesday, August 6th by going to the Student Services page on the High School Website. Counselors will be available on August 7th to begin processing student requests. All schedule change requests need to submitted by using the google form as this will assist in tracking and processing requests. Student services will work through requests as they receive them and every effort will be made to communicate the results of the requests.

Students and parents are reminded the courses offered and the master schedule is determined based on the previous registration selections. Our goal is to balance both classes and individual schedules based on those selections. Schedule changes will be limited to only necessary changes. For example, due to scheduling error, missing a prerequisite to take a class, needing a class for graduation, need to repeat a class, replacing a study hall with a class, inappropriate academic placement or already earned credit in a class on the schedule. Examples of reasons schedule changes are not permitted include: changing the order of classes to accommodate extra-curricular activities, work schedule, etc., moving classes to be with a friend, wanting a class that has a specific lunch block, dropping or moving a class to gain an open block at a desired time, or specific teacher requests.
