We hope everyone enjoyed the last two weeks with family and friends! Weatherford ISD schools resume tomorrow and will operate with a normal schedule. Temperatures are expected to be in the teens tomorrow morning with a wind chill in the single digits. Parents are encouraged to be sure their children are dressed warmly.
Weatherford High School students will pick up new spring semester schedules Monday morning:
• Seniors will pick up schedules in Gym B
• Juniors in the upstairs landing
• Sophomores by the cafeteria
We look forward our seeing our Kangaroo family tomorrow!

As a long-time educator, Helen Spivey has crafted many lessons and traditions in her years at Weatherford ISD.
The librarian at Curtis and Tison for many years before becoming a mentor to incoming teachers and retiring in 2000, Spivey has now created a new tradition — one that combines reading, family and students.
