Hello, this is Wade Martin calling from WSHS with the Friday Storm Report.

 

• On Tuesday, Nov. 18, all 10th graders will take the PreACT from 7:25–10:55 a.m. Students in other grades will stay in homeroom to complete make-up work as needed. There will be no movement in the building until testing ends. Around 10:55, students will move to lunch. First block starts at 11:50, and attendance will be taken then. Students will attend all four blocks for about 35 minutes each. It is really important that all 10th graders are here in school to take their PreAct Test. Parents with questions should contact Dr. Cagle our testing coordinator.

 

• I am sure our carpool parents have noticed, we have opened the left turn lane in the mornings allowing parents to enter our carpool entrance from both directions.  So far it is going fairly well.  I would still encourage all parents to try and arrive on campus as close to 7:00 as possible.  We are still seeing quite a “log jam” of cars that are all arriving between 7:10 and 7:15.  Arriving on campus just 10 minutes earlier would really save everyone time and frustration with the traffic that we are seeing at 7:15.  Just a suggestion.

 

• Parents should not be going into the North Lakes neighborhood and dropping off students in the morning so they can walk to school from the neighborhood.  Please use our carpool loop if you are dropping off your student in the morning.  Thanks for helping us be a good neighbor.

 

Thanks for your continued support of our school.  Go Storm!

 

Willow Spring High School families,

 

First, know that all students are safe.  We wanted to make you aware of an incident that occurred earlier this morning.

At about 6:30 a.m., one of our buses was involved in an accident near the intersection of Bud Lipscomb and Kennebec roads.

No students were on the bus at the time.

Our thoughts are with those involved in today’s accident.

If you have any questions, please contact the front office.

As always, thank you for your continued support of our school.

Hello, this is Wade Martin calling from WSHS with the Friday Storm Report.

 

I have just a few quick reminders this week.

 

• All athletes planning to try out for a Winter Sports team are reminded that all documentation must be uploaded in DragonFly before you can try out. Tryouts begin next Wednesday for all Storm Winter Sports Teams.

 

• Next Thursday, October 30th is our last home football game of the year.  Our PTSA in partnership with the Dairy Queen of FV has organized the 4th Annual Blessing Bowl food drive benefiting the Fuquay-Varina Emergency Food Pantry.  We hope you will come out to the game to cheer on our team and bring non-perishible food items that can be dropped off at the entrance to the stadium to support this great cause.  See the flyer linked on our website to see what types of items are needed most.

 

• Next Friday is the end of the first quarter.  Please encourage your student to connect with their teachers to find out what can still be made up if they have missing assignments and to go to BOLT Lunch tutorials to make up any missing tests.

 

Have a great weekend and Go Storm!

• Lastly, I would like to again remind all parents that whenever there is a serious incident on campus that jeopardizes the safety of our students and staff, you will hear directly from me about the incident as soon as I am able to get word to you.  I would encourage our families to stop relying on Facebook Group rumors as your primary source of information.  

 

Have a great weekend and Go Storm!

Hello, this is Wade Martin calling from WSHS with the Friday Storm Report.

• The links are live for families and students to order their 2025-26 Yearbooks for this school year.  Information about ordering can be found under the Student Life under Yearbooks as well as in the Seniors - Class of 2026 section of the website.

 

• We know that our carpool is congested, however, we do need to remind all families that you must follow our carpool procedures so we can keep everyone safe.  There should be no drop offs or pick ups in our student parking lot. Also, in the afternoons, parents should not be pulling up past the carpool line to enter the staff parking lot in an effort to cut the line and wait for your student in the parking lot.  We will begin enforcing consequences for parents and students who do not follow our carpool guidelines.  We need you, our parents, to show your students that it’s important to “do the right thing” and follow our school rules.  Be that parent that sets a good example for our students.

 

• As we opened school, students have been doing a good job with the district’s new wireless communications policies.  Please continue to reinforce with your students the importance of following the district’s new policy as we are beginning to see a rise in violations now that we are a few weeks into school.  We really do not want to get into situations where we have to confiscate devices and require parents to come to school to pick them up. Thanks for your help with this.

 

• I would like to remind all of our families that the first PTSA general meeting will be held next Tuesday on September 16th at 6:30 in our media center.  We hope to see lots of parents in attendance!

 

• Interim reports are going to be provided to students now that we have completed our third week of school.  Check on your student’s academic progress and connect with their teacher if you have any questions about your student’s grades.

 

Have a great weekend and as always, Go Storm!
