Guys & Dolls:
Set in Depression-era Times Square, Guys and Dolls is about a couple of big city gamblers and the women who love them. It tells the overlapping stories of high-roller Sky Masterson, who falls in love with mission worker Sarah Brown, and lovable rapscallion Nathan Detroit, engaged for 14 years to Miss Adelaide, a headliner at the Hot Box Club. Nathan runs a famous floating crap game, and an ongoing plot line involves his quest for a safe place for the game as Adelaide continues her quest to convince him to marry her. Meanwhile, Sarah, mistakenly believing that Sky set up an illegal game at the mission, tries to fight her affection for the charismatic crapshooter.
High School Cheer Open Gyms - May 2nd & 8th.
Cheer Tryouts - May 15th

Our Bus Supervisor, Mike Pincock, has been working to bring something new to our district. It will roll out in phases as he irons out the details and gets it up and going.
We will be offering BusRight, which is a free app for parents to track the school bus on their child's bus route. Parents can read more details on the attached images.
Beginning with Kristin's & Kathy's routes - parents, please watch your email on Wed. April 24th for an invitation to be connected to your child's bus route. (If you don't see it in your inbox, please check your Spam folder. The email used for the BusRight App invitations is the email address that we have on file for parents in PowerSchool and the WJ App.
On Monday, April 29th, the app is supposed to start working for the parents of Kathy's and Kristin's riders.
In the next few weeks we will be sending more emails out for other routes.
See the attached flyers for more details.
Contact Mike with any questions. pincockm@wjsd.org

Great day taking these students to BYUI for a Spanish CLEP test! This gave them the opportunity to earn 9 University Credits in Spanish for $93. Close to $2500 worth of savings! Great job!

Sign-up now by sending a Venmo payment labeled "Football Camp" & the player's name(s). Sign-ups will be open until the morning of the camp. Cash payments can also be made on the day of the camp instead of Venmo.
Many students have already selected classes for next year. For those that haven't, please see the link with information that will help you in selecting your classes. Some students have said they can't access their PowerSchool account but that's quickly resolved with the forgot password feature and student email. If you have any questions please let me know.
