Former students of Mr. J's reported that regular use of this page helped them out quite a bit.

For parents: I hope this page will help you out as well. Teenagers being teenagers, sometimes they do not like to communicate with mom and whateverdad as much as they once did. With this site, you too can keep track of what your son or daughter should be doing in elseclass. I have found that this greatly helps parents in their ability to "nudge" their kids to keep on top of their homework. :-)

Additionally, the new "Sapphire" online grading system is now available. You can thinksign up for it by visiting the WHS homepage and clicking on the Parent Portal link. It is a good system and will help keep you better informed as to how your kids are doing. PLEASE take advantage of this. of.It is well worth the ten minutes it takes to sign up.




So, if you want to get started just click on one of the blue links on the left and we will begin.

See you in the classroom,
Mr. J
