BANDS IN THE PARK!!When: Saturday, May 19th Where: Beard Park Time: 12:00 pm Click Here for the Bands in the Park Flyer Students Acquiring Academic LanguageSpeaking in complete sentences, using academic words from the subject to convey understanding, and submitting writing assignments in all subject areas are becoming the “new norms” in WHS classrooms. “We began working on language pedagogy last year,” says Vice Principal Mrs. Viss. “Pedagogy simply means the process of teaching, and we want our instruction to help student become more sophisticated in their use of language,” added Viss. With an API of 809, WHS is known in the region for being a high-performing school. Mr. Davis noted, “We know we have very bright and intelligent students. It’s through language, either written or spoken, that students can really show what they've learned.” When students leave WHS , they’ll be equipped to write and speak well and express their ideas to the world.

CULTURAL DAY at WHSCultural Day was celebrated on May 9th this year. The event was held during lunch, celebrating the various cultures that make up our beautiful country. Students showcased assigned countries and this year they were: Germany, Puerto Rico, Italy, China, India, Portugal, India, Mexico, and of course our own USA. Each table displayed cultural foods, recipes, and methods of preparation while cultural music played in the background. The lunch time activity was quite creative and delicious to the taste buds. The Cultural Day is the collaborative effort of students, teachers and parents. If you didn’t get a chance to experience the Waterford High School’s Culture Day this year, look forward to attending next year’s.

Renaissance is dedicated to promoting and rewarding student success. By creating Renaissance cards, we hope to motivate students to work harder for better CST scores as well as better grades. The cards are divided into four categories of achievement: Platinum for all advanced on CSTs or 4.0+ GPA; Gold for mixed proficient & advanced on CSTs or 3.5-3.9 GPA; Blue for all proficient on CSTs or 3.0-3.49 GPA; White for two or more proficient or advanced on CSTs or 2.5-2.9 GPA. The results from CSTs are used for 1stsemester cards and grades from 1stsemester are used for 2ndsemester cards. As a reward, students may use the cards for classroom privileges or for entry into prize giveaways. This year, for example, we have given away an iPod, Xbox, movie tickets and Renaissance T-shirts. Our current club leaders are Carlo Mataka, Jose Jimenez, David Bustillos, Bert De Los Santos, Maya Murillo, Rachel Fontana, and Caleb Emmons.
