WHMS families, Our district is partnering with Baptist Health Hardin (BHH) to administer the Youth Risk Behaviors Survey (YRBS), a project developed through the CDC. The survey is designed to provide valuable insight into the experiences and needs of youth within our community so that programs and resources can be developed to support them more effectively. The survey will be administered to 6th and 8th grade students during the school day on Friday, November 7th. A passive permission form will be sent home today and should only be returned if you do not wish for your student to participate. Please return these forms on Tuesday, November 4th as we return to school.

Please take a moment to review this week’s family newsletter for important updates and details about our upcoming Spirit Week! We’d love for your child to join in the fun by participating in our daily spirit dress-up days. Let’s show our school spirit together! Thank you for your support! https://secure.smore.com/n/9anxef
