Is there a supply list for students?
No, we do not have a list of supplies for students to come with on day one.
- Students should get the supplies that they know they will need for themselves (for example, organizational preferences like folders, binders, notebooks, writing utensils, and an assignment notebook).
- Teachers will review with students any required materials for their specific course during the first days of school. Math classes may need a particular calculator.
- Teachers give students a reasonable amount of time to get any required materials needed.
- It is different for each teacher.
- Chromebooks are provided to all students by WTHS and it is expected that students bring their Chromebook charged to class.
-
Where do buses drop and pick students up?
Bus information is listed on each student schedule.
- When students arrive in the morning to the O’Plaine campus, their buses drop them off at the A-2 entrance of the building (Middle-East Side of building--facing O’Plaine Rd.).
- Students load the buses at the end of the day on the same east location and some buses in the north lot.

If you have any questions about buses, you can direct them to our transportation department.
