Wood River High School
*** Important info regarding the WRHS switch to a semester schedule next year ***
Wood River High School will be making a significant scheduling change next year for the 2011/12 school calendar. They will be switching from a trimester schedule to a semester schedule. This will have significant impacts on SVSEF athletes as they plan their four years at WRHS. The three significant differences between a trimester and semester schedule are:
#1 Athletes will have to take releases for BOTH the Fall and Spring semesters in order to train/compete.
#2 They will be getting out early from WRHS for THE ENTIRE YEAR, in the fall and spring when SVSEF is not running daily programs.
#3 Students will have to take FOUR classes during the entire season (currently most take THREE during the winter trimester). These courses are also more likely to be "core" classes
There was a meeting in the academic center on March 15th regarding this schedule change. It was well attended so thanks to those who came out. For those of you who were not able to make the meeting, I have posted both the Power Point presentation as well as a helpful MS Excel file below.

The following MS excel file contains the original information show in the slide show above, but students and parents can use the various worksheets to build their 4- or 5-year plans. It includes several sample 4-year plans that fulfill the requirements for WRHS, WRHS + IB (Middle Years Program), & WRHS + Elite Colleges. This should be a very useful tool for mapping our your skiing and academic career.

WOOD RIVER HIGH SCHOOL (WRHS) - General information and links
Wood River High School continues to work in close partnership with Matt
Leidecker and the SVSEF to accommodate the needs of our athletes.
During spring registration, students can sign up for "release periods" in the spring and fall semesters to free up afternoon training time
and lighten their academic load during the competitive ski season. It
is important, however, for students to communicate clearly with their
individual teachers when they will miss school for a SVSEF event. Here
are some useful links.

WRHS teachers continue to build and develop their online web pages. Some are better than others at posting coursework and other
information on these sites. This can be in invaluable tool for athletes
who are on the road to pull assignments off the teacher's website.
Below is a link to the teacher website page on the Blaine County
website. Take a moment to get familiar with your teacher's website to
see how you can utilize them this season.
