Sharing Information

 

Late Buses

Late buses run on Wednesdays and depart from WSHS at approximately 4:30 pm from door 1.  Late bus runs do not stop at every stop and therefore students might need to walk a bit further than normal.  Late Bus information will be posted at door 1.  We will not have late buses on September 4th due to Back To School Night.

Family Life Education Preview Information

 Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) provides a comprehensive, sequential Family Life Education (FLE) program for students in grades kindergarten through grade twelve.  Instruction is seen as a partnership among parents and guardians, the school, and the community in supporting the learning essential to the development of strong families, positive relationships, and a healthy community.

 

Parents/guardians may choose to opt their child out of all or part of the Family Life Education program.  Students who are opted out are provided with age-appropriate, nonpunitive alternative health instruction, and every effort is made to foster respect for family choices.  If you wish to opt your child out of all or part of FLE for this school year, opt out forms were included in your child’s back-to-school/orientation packets and are available online for High School (9-12) at https://www.fcps.edu/academics/high-school-academics-9-12/family-life-education-fle.  Please fill in the opt-out form and return it to your child’s school prior to Family Life Education instruction.

 

Detailed grade-level program descriptions will be available for preview in the library prior to the start of Back to School Night on September 4th from 5:30-6:00pm.
