Wall High School Knightly News

I am very excited to announce that Wall High School will transition to a Rotating Drop Schedule in the 24-25 school year. Please join us on Tuesday, April 16th at 6:30 p.m. in the WHS Auditorium for a detailed presentation regarding the schedule change. At that meeting we will also present information about increased opportunities in 24-25 for WHS students to earn college credit in a Dual Enrollment program in cooperation with Stockton University. We are very excited about these changes in the 24-25 school year, and we believe that they will strengthen the academic program at Wall High School.

Please note that Marking Period 3 reports cards are available in the Genesis Parent Portal.

Finally, I would also like to extend my congratulations to the entire cast and crew of WHS's production of Fiddler on the Roof. It was a fantastic show, and we are so proud of all of our students and staff who were involved in making it happen!

Scheduling for the 2024-2025 school year is complete! All students have met with their school counselor and finalized courses for next year. Parents can check their child’s requests in the Genesis Parent Portal under the scheduling tab. Any student who needs to make a change can do so by emailing their school counselor.

• All changes must be made by Thursday, June 6, 2024.

This instructional course will meet for 6 sessions. The course is designed to help students prepare for the new (2024) Digital Administration of the SAT. During the mathematics sessions students will engage in methods for applying math taught in the classroom to the questions presented on the SAT. With helpful tips along the way, students will engage in activities to strengthen their critical reading, sentence completion, grammar and SAT writing skills. Diagnostic and practice exams will not be administered during class time, but are available for students to self-administer independently with guidance from course instructors.

See attachment for more information and enrollment form.

Setting the stage for a safe and healthy summer, both socially and physically, is of the utmost importance to our community.

It was a beautiful celebration of the arts showcasing the many talents of the Wall High School visual and performing arts programs.

LIVE TO GIVE teaches that life’s abundance moves in cycles. In order to receive love, respect, kindness, etc. one must be willing to give those things to those around them. This Mindset shows that living to give requires one to stretch themselves, make a difference and receive gracefully, and by doing so, a legacy will be created for others to follow.

4 Key Components in this Mindset include:

• Stretch Yourself
