Wheeling Park FFA Poultry Evaluation Team: Zack Brady Josie Long Lexi Ripley Lacie Langmyer Students judged classes of laying hens & broilers, interior & exterior egg quality, carcass quality, bone-in & boneless product quality, and carcass cut ID. All of these classes were based on USDA quality standards. Students also had a general poultry knowledge exam and presented oral reasons for class placement of carcasses and laying hens. We will find out results tomorrow evening, as there are more events tomorrow. The students had a fun day, and are excited to do more events!

Students received their 2nd Nine Week Interim Reports today. This is the last stretch to finish the semester. Please encourage your student to keep up with their daily work, submit assignments on time and to Keep Going! Also, with our new call out system, we have been able to revive our daily care calls. You will receive these automated calls around 6:45 p.m. if your child has been marked absent for 1 or more periods. If you call the main office and make us aware of an absence, you will not receive a care call. If you need to change the number in which calls are received, please call the Main Office at 304-243-0400.

Our Student Council Bond Committee and Senior Class Officers recently met with Principal Dailer to make furniture and design selections for our new Patriot Point. This space will be dedicated to our Seniors...a relaxing space for them to eat, lounge and enjoy one another. One of the highlights will be the original WP logo from the old main entrance used as a focal wall. #experienceTHEPARK #wearePARK

Based on the first nine-week accountability grade data, our students are still struggling to submit work in a timely manner. We believe that it is in the best interest of our students to stay on pace with their classwork. With this in mind, we will be adding a 1/2-way grading cut for the 2nd nine weeks. Any missing classwork due on or prior to Tuesday, November 23rd must be submitted by Sunday, November 28th, 11:59 p.m. to receive credit. If not turned in, those assignments will turn to a zero. Classwork submitted late will be graded and entered in Schoology by Monday, December 6th. Assessments can always be made up; however, we recommend taking assessments in a timely manner so that subject matter is fresh and learning is at its peak. Again, we believe this cut-off is beneficial to our students' learning and building accountability in their daily classwork. Please note: Interim will be pulled and printed normally. They will come home on Tuesday, November 30th. Interim report cards will not be reflective of all these late work submissions as our teacher will use the week of Nov. 29th to complete this grading.
