Three big things this week.
First – We do not have school on Tuesday for Election Day.
Second – Our students can access their PSAT & SAT Test Day Scores on Thursday. Students created their own College Board accounts. We’ve worked with kids to help them document the email and password they used. However, Wheeling Park has no control or access to those accounts. If you have difficulty logging in to see scores, you’ll need to reach out directly to College Board.
Third – This Friday we will start our state mandated cyber safety lessons. This law specifically mandates education centered around sexploitation, cyberbullying, and other difficult topics. In this course - There are six lessons and we’ll work on them through this week and next in Developmental Guidance. You may review this website for additional information and opt-out form if necessary https://wveis.k12.wv.us/cyberswat
Lastly – We continue to wish all of our spring sports good luck as they move through tournament time.

Week of May 4
Congratulations to our Theater Department for their fabulous Spring Musical – The Addams Family. It was a hit!
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week. We’re doing all the things to spoil them, but I’m positive a few nice messages from families and students would be very much appreciated!
Tomorrow morning, our signs up for Summer School will open. We offer in-person credit recovery for Math, English, Science & Social Studies. We also offer in-person summer Physical Education. The PE class is capped at around 60 kids and is on a first come first served basis. Please use the links on Schoology to sign up.
AP testing starts this week as well. We want to wish all of our AP students the best of luck on their exams!
And lastly, senior parents, I posted a very short video on Schoology in the Class of 2026 group about the timeline for purchasing hoods, stoles & cords for graduation. I hope it helps clarify any questions you may have. If you still need help, please reach out!

Prepare for several calls this week as it is ...SAT Test Week!
All 9, 10 and 11 graders will be testing on Friday, April 17. For Juniors, this is our state assessment, but it is also a FREE official administration of the SAT which allows them to submit scores to schools and earn the Promise Scholarship. We will test from 7:30 a.m. to about 11 a.m. and allow for early dismissals once testing is complete. We will use a specific early dismissal note that students will receive mid-week. If students can’t dismiss early, we’ll provide them lunch and enrichment activities for the remainder of the day.
On Friday, 12th graders are expected to be out of the building and participate in our tradition of Patriot Day of Caring. Those forms have already been provided to students and can also be found on Schoology.
Also, for Seniors, please continue to focus on the graduation items we shared last week. The Senior Survey is due on Friday, April 24.
And lastly, PROM permission forms are due on Friday, April 17. Students and parents receive email notification of their dance permission status and can work with Administration with any issues. Tickets will go on sale Monday, April 20. And the dance is Saturday, April 25 at the White Palace from 6 to 9 p.m. Promenade starts at 5 p.m.

We had a full day of Professional Learning at Wheeling Park today! Staff heard presentations on Common Assessment Item Analysis with Southern Regional Education Board, our retirement system, special needs accommodations in general classrooms, Option Programs and SAT Test Day training. We are grateful for the time these PL Days afford and are excited to see our kids tomorrow!
Please come out for the Steve Myers Legacy Game.
This Wednesday @ 5:30 @ WPHS Baseball Field
All proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society

Tomorrow is a PL Day. Students do not report.
On Tuesday, 9th, 10th & 11th graders will be doing pre-registration for the PSAT/SAT Test Day. We have scheduled our tests for Friday, April 17. We’ll be sharing more details on the day as we get closer, but it is imperative that we have their attendance for this state test.
Please join us Wednesday evening for the Steve Myers Legacy Baseball Game. We play John Marshall at 5:30. There will be several fundraising activities, and all proceeds will be donated to the American Cancer Society.
Lastly, the volume of early dismissals we are receiving has become concerning. Please do everything you can to ensure students are in school for a full day. It is in their best academic interest. We appreciate you scheduling appointments outside of the 7:30 to 2:30 school day. If a student must dismiss early, please write them a note rather than calling in. It’s a much more efficient process for us in the Main Office. We appreciate your help!
