We spy some alumni!
Congratulations gentlemen on graduating from the West Virginia State Police 203rd Basic Academy,
This week we'll be working on getting Back to School Informational Mailer out to all our families. You should see it by the end of the week and you'll definitely want to review its contents.
For upperclassmen, please take a few minutes to check your Schoology messages. Our counselors have put out questions as they finalized schedules and you may need to respond back to them.
I also want to encourage everyone to check out our newly updated website. https://www.wphs.ohio.k12.wv.us/ Especially look at the apparel tab. We've opened an online store that ships Wheeling Park swag straight to your door. Use code SPIRIT20 for a Grand Opening 20% off.
Otherwise, start getting those kids up a little earlier each day. We start on Wednesday, August 26.
If you have questions in the meantime, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Two WPHS students completed their summer internship today by providing their Capstone Reports. Jonathan Ramirez and Romeo Blake-Livingston secured summer internships at Oglebay (supported by Education Alliance). Today they shared their experience as well as solutions for the Front Desk and the Grow Lab.
We are so thankful for this great community partnership and the experiential learning opportunities for our students.
Mark your calendar for our New Student "Party on the Plaza"
This event is specifically for incoming 9th graders and any other new students to Wheeling Park High School.
Please choose a session that best fits your family's schedule.
We'll start both sessions in the Gym with a Welcome from Mrs. Dailer.
From there, students will receive their schedule and a tour with one of our wonderful Freshman Mentors.
Students will also be able to pick up their Chromebook, gather school supplies and have some food & fun on our Plaza.
This is a great way to ease those first days jitters! We can't wait to see you.

Three big things this week.
First – We do not have school on Tuesday for Election Day.
Second – Our students can access their PSAT & SAT Test Day Scores on Thursday. Students created their own College Board accounts. We’ve worked with kids to help them document the email and password they used. However, Wheeling Park has no control or access to those accounts. If you have difficulty logging in to see scores, you’ll need to reach out directly to College Board.
Third – This Friday we will start our state mandated cyber safety lessons. This law specifically mandates education centered around sexploitation, cyberbullying, and other difficult topics. In this course - There are six lessons and we’ll work on them through this week and next in Developmental Guidance. You may review this website for additional information and opt-out form if necessary https://wveis.k12.wv.us/cyberswat
Lastly – We continue to wish all of our spring sports good luck as they move through tournament time.

Week of May 4
Congratulations to our Theater Department for their fabulous Spring Musical – The Addams Family. It was a hit!
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week. We’re doing all the things to spoil them, but I’m positive a few nice messages from families and students would be very much appreciated!
Tomorrow morning, our signs up for Summer School will open. We offer in-person credit recovery for Math, English, Science & Social Studies. We also offer in-person summer Physical Education. The PE class is capped at around 60 kids and is on a first come first served basis. Please use the links on Schoology to sign up.
AP testing starts this week as well. We want to wish all of our AP students the best of luck on their exams!
And lastly, senior parents, I posted a very short video on Schoology in the Class of 2026 group about the timeline for purchasing hoods, stoles & cords for graduation. I hope it helps clarify any questions you may have. If you still need help, please reach out!
