Dear JETS Families,
Graduation Day is here! Graduation will take place May 20th at 7:00 pm at the football stadium.
Seniors will need to report to the gym lobby at 5:30pm.
The gates to the stadium will open at 6:00 pm. Please review the parking map and instructions for what is allowed in the stadium. We appreciate your cooperation so that we all enjoy and celebrate our Seniors!
Dear JETS Families,
We are actively monitoring the forecast as there is a possibility of severe weather developing around dismissal time today. As always, student safety is our top priority. If conditions become unsafe, we will hold buses and walkers until it is safe to release them. Parents who would prefer to pick up their student early are welcome to do so at any time this afternoon and the absence will not be counted against them.
Due to the forecasted threat of severe weather, all after-school events and activities are canceled, including Boys & Girls Club. We will be in communication about any rescheduled events. Please stay weather aware and take necessary precautions.
We're kicking off Teacher Appreciation Week strong with coffee generously donated by Starbucks & delicious donuts from our favorite spot, Polar Donuts! Be sure to check them out! We truly appreciate them for their donation, and always supporting us here at Council Grove. Thank you teachers and staff for everything you do each and everyday for our students and community!

Happy Administrative Professionals Day to our ‘red’ciously awesome secretaries!
Your hard work, bright energy, and incredible organization keep everything running smoothly. We appreciate you more than words can say!
Tonight, our district's special education team had the honor of learning from Dr. Temple Grandin—an internationally recognized advocate and voice for individuals with autism. Her message emphasized the importance of understanding, supporting, and celebrating neurodiverse learners. It was an inspiring experience that reminded us how every child’s unique way of thinking is a gift. We are excited to bring what we learned back to the classroom to better support our student.
Happy Bus Driver Appreciation Day!

Well done, JETS!
We will return to campus learning on Friday, February 21st. Morning temperatures will still be very low, so wear layers with hats and gloves and resist the urge to dress like a middle school boy (shorts, hoodie, and crocs)!
Due to forecasted winter weather conditions, all students will shift to distance learning tomorrow, February 18, and Wednesday, February 19. WHPS district offices will be closed and staff will be working remotely unless otherwise directed by their supervisor. All after-school activities are canceled.
Student packets were distributed last week. If you have questions about your student's work, please email their teachers directly. Staff emails are located on the site websites under MENU then STAFF. https://www.westernheights.k12.ok.us/
Please stay safe and weather-aware and we thank you for your continued support of WHPS.
