Warrensburg Families:
Due to the forecasted weather tomorrow, Friday, January 12 and Tuesday, January 16, we will be using Alternative Method of Instruction days (AMI Days). AMI days allow us to send work home for students due to weather conditions. Based on the forecast data, we are concerned for Friday that the weather will hit us early during the morning commute and it will continue throughout most of the day. Getting students home may be a challenge again, just as it was on Monday of this week.
Furthermore, we will use another AMI day on Tuesday, January 16 due to the predicted cold temperatures. Frostbite can occur for exposed skin after 30 minutes of exposure with -18 degree wind chills. The forecast is calling for -24/-25 degrees wind chills on Tuesday morning. This is colder than we would want our students at bus stops, biking, or walking to school.
We appreciate your patience with the weather situations over this week and into next. If you would like additional information, Dr. Ritter has created a video you may view by clicking here or viewing on the district Facebook page. He explains in more detail the rationale for the AMI days and explains what they are. An additional fact is you may have your student(s) complete work on any day we are out and throughout the long weekend. Work can be completed Friday through Tuesday of next week. If you have additional questions please reach out to your student's teacher and/or the building principal.
We appreciate your patience and support in keeping students safe, and we hope by notifying you early you are able to plan accordingly with your family.
Dr. Steve Ritter

Students in Spanish 1 wrote pen pal letters in Spanish to students in Toledo, Spain. This is a project that gives students the opportunity to use what they are learning in a real scenario.
The letters were sent electronically to the school in Spain, and it is the first of many communications they will have next semester.
WHS FCCLA is currently working on a campaign with MODOT to help make our roads a safer place! This campaign could help us win a grant up to $5000 for our school. This is a community wide competition in Missouri, for all teens (even those who aren't driving yet!) and adults.

FTA would like to recognize Pete Claas this month for his efforts and contributions to the classroom and lives of the students at WHS.
FTA members believe Mr. Claas deserves this because Mr. Claas is a dedicated and kind teacher. He has served students for over 30 years as a teacher and coach. He even came back out of retirement to teach!
Thanks for all you do Mr. Claas; you make a difference in the lives of so many students.
