BYOT...
WHS has been selected to pilot "Bring Your Own Technology" this semester! Students may use electronic devices in class when deemed appropriate by their teacher. All students must bring in a signed permission form to participate.

BYOT Device Registration...
As students bring technology devices to school, we will be creating a database of serial numbers to aid in locating lost or stolen devices. By providing a serial number for your device, a lost or stolen device will be easier to identify.

Parental Notice of Right to Know Teacher Qualifications

As required by the No Child Left Behind Act, the Fayette County school System advises parents that they may request, and the school will provide in a timely manner, information regarding the professional qualifications of your child's classroom teachers, including the following:
1.   Whether the teacher has met state certification criteria for the grade levels and subject areas in which the teacher provides instruction.
2.   Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or provisional status through which state certification has been waived.
3.   The degrees earned by the teacher and the field of certification or degree.
4.   Whether the child is provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so, their
qualifications.
Please contact the school principal at your child's school if you wish to request such information.

During second semester, WHS will implement the "Bring Your Own Technology" pilot program for the county. This program will allow students to use their own mobile devices to help facilitate their learning. We are excited to have been selected as one of the two schools to pilot this program.  The county will install a filtered, wireless network for the students to utilize from their own wireless devices.
