A Peek for Parents
Welcome to the 2009-2010 school year! And for those that are new to the school, welcome to Willow Glen High!
This year promises to be another lively one as the campus buzzes with student activity and the construction of our new science wing!
This website will be updated on a daily basis and is a place for students and parents to find brief summaries of each day's activities, homework assignments, and reminders for upcoming projects and due dates.
Parents, this can be an exciting and stressful time for you, too, especially if this is your child's first year of high school. Please do make use of this resource and don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions or concerns. Back to school night is September 3rd, and I look forward to meeting all of you.
Stay tuned!
Mr. Bursch
