We know illness and unfortunate events happen and we excuse those days. Thank you, WJH Families, for joining with us to make sure your student is in school each day that they can be. We will continue to prioritize attendance, on time arrival, and academic achievement as the year continues. The best is yet to come! 🎉💚🎉
