New Microscopes
The Hancock County Foundation gave West Hancock High School a $2500.00 grant this year. Part of the funds were used to purchase new microscopes. We purchased six new microscopes in all. Thanks to the Hancock County Foundation for this gift!

Parents,
Grades should all be updated and finalized for first semester. If you go on JMC parent access and click on the report card you will find your son or daughter's final grades. To avoid any confusion I wanted to explain something. Some of you have asked why the final grade in the online progress report or grade book might be different than the grade on the report card. The answer to this question is the impact of the semester test, project or assessment. Some of the teachers included these in the grade book and some did not. Based on weighting and how the semester test was figured, each class could be a little different. Semester assessments can be up to 20% of the final grade, some teachers figured the final regular class grade (which you see in the online grade book) and then added the semester final on after. For those classes you would see an exam grade and then a final grade on the report card. I hope this clears things up.
As always if you have concerns about a specific class or grade the teacher is the best source of information. Don't be afraid to ask teachers about the grade, exam or anything else.
Thanks!
Mr. Recker

End of First Semester
The first semester is over. Grades have been posted and can be viewed online. We will not hand out report cards, but if you would like a paper copy, please contact Peg in the office. Some students may have Incompletes, these need to be taken care of by Friday. All grades will be final after Friday.
Second Semester began on Monday. We were able to get schedules in order and everything seems to be going smoothly. If you have any questions or concerns about your students new classes do not hesitate to contact their instructor.
We look forward to a great second semester!

Lions Club Supper and Queen of the Court
This Friday we will host Forest City in a quad basketball game beginning at 4:00 pm.
The Britt Lions Club will be hosting a pulled pork sandwich supper from 5-7 in the high school cafeteria. There will also be hot dogs available for the kids. There will be a meal option or a la carte selections available. Please come out and support the Lions!
The after prom committee will also be hosting their "Queen of the Court" night. This year adults from the school and community will be dressed up in elegant outfits. Teachers, Parents, Coaches and Administration will all be involved. It should be a great evening!

Sportsmanship
Parents,
We, like many schools, continue to work on our sportsmanship at home events. At a recent home game, actions and words from some people in our crowd were not appropriate and did not represent West Hancock in a positive way. We really want all of our students and our community members to do their best to be positive and supportive at all of our events.
Cheers that are mean spirited, harassing or directed at team members or fans of the opposition are not appropriate. Harassment of the game officials is also not appropriate. We want our fans to focus on all of the positive things our teams are doing. We have a lot to be proud of here at West Hancock and we do not want the actions of a few, to overshadow all of the great things that we have going for us!
Athletic contests are fun, intense and competitive. This is true for the participants and the spectators. If we all act appropriately and respectfully we will have a great season. Lets do our best to show everyone all of the great things about our school, teams, fans and community here at West Hancock!
