Learners may meet on Microsoft Teams with their school counselor on inclement weather days. School counselor office hours are 10:30am – 12:30pm. To make an appointment, learners should email their school counselor to identify an available time. The school counselor will respond with available appointment times and instructions on using Microsoft Teams.  

The purpose of virtual counseling is to provide brief academic, career, and social/emotional supports. Virtual counseling appointments are not intended for emergencies. If your learner is experiencing a mental health emergency while at home, here are options to consider:  

• FirstLink: Dial 2-1-1 or text your zip code to 898-2-1-1.   

• National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: Dial 9-8-8 or text 9-8-8  

• If your child is in crisis, please call 9-1-1 or go to your nearest emergency room.   

All scholarship-related questions can be directed to the counseling department office assistant, Mrs. Lucy Spaeth.  Additional information is located on the WFHS Financial Aid and Scholarship webpage.

To request a transcript, follow the procedure through eTranscript.  If you have questions or need assistance, please email Mrs. Lucy Spaeth, Office Assistant.
