Weekly Parent Update

October 25, 2024

Dear WAC Parents,

We are excited to invite you to our upcoming Future Focus informational event, where our school counseling team will share valuable insights on preparing students for postsecondary success!

Date: Wednesday, November 20

Time: 2:00 PM MT

Location: Via Zoom (we’ll send a Zoom link one day prior, so check your inbox)

At this event, parents and students will learn about college applications, scholarship opportunities, our high school graduation path, and credit requirements. This is a valuable opportunity to ask questions, gather resources, and get your student thinking about their future.

While attendance is not mandatory, we strongly encourage all Middle and High School students and parents to join us. We look forward to seeing you there!

Warm regards,
