WHS.CC Chromebook Give-A-Way / New Update (September 8, 2020)
DEADLINE for WHS Class of 2020 Seniors that submitted their applications for a chromebook this past February has been extended to January 2021 (Spring Semester). If you are not enrolling this Fall as a handful have indicated, please note, due to COVID situation, you have one more shot in January, 2021 before your eligibility expires. READ BELOW
Chromebook "NEW" update time - as of September 8th, we have issued "45" $200 checks to WHS Seniors who filled out applications for a laptop by the deadline this past February. The last of those 45 will be mailed this week.
Below are the names of the original applicants I haven't given checks to yet. The ones with asterisks have contacted me. Those individuals do not need to contact me again unless your plans have changed. My understanding for those with asterisk, (2) are waiting on proof of enrollment. (4 of you have also indicated you will not be going to school this Fall). The (1) without an asterisk, needs to contact me and let me know his status.
I will let everyone know now, COVID has changed a lot of things including this program for this present school year. I will be extending the deadline for 2020 seniors to claim their $$ through enrollment for the Spring Semester 2021. If you are not attending anywhere this Fall (and as noted above, 4 of you have indicated that) but do get enrolled for the upcoming Spring semester (2021), you can still send me proof of enrollment, no later than Jan. 15, 2021 and you'll get a check. The program for 2020 Seniors (the 100th graduating class from WHS), will end on Jan. 16, 2021 so we can get our ducks in a row for the WHS Class of 2021 - the first graduating class for WHS's CENTURY #2, so be sure to get with me before that if you plan on being enrolled by then.
The following have not rec'd checks. (and are listed in no particular order) Again, those with asterisks have contacted me and have indicated their plans, they are either awaiting proof of enrollment documentation or have elected not to attend school this Fall. Those without asterisk, please verify your plans with me. (ssturgis@usd353.com)

"4" of those with asterisk, (Jace, Jewels, Daniel, Taima) have indicated they are not, more than likely, attending school this Fall. "2" with asterisk, (Elizabeth & Hailee) have indicated they are but I haven't received any enrollment verification from them. I remind the aforementioned (7) students, the deadline is January 15, 2021 to claim your $200 check. Class of 2020 Seniors listed above will lose their eligibility after January 15, 2021.
