Meet the teacher is designed for you to get to know a bit about the teacher and the course, there will be time for Questions and Answers, but questions should be kept to general questions about the course.

Please see individual teachers to arrange for one-on-one time to discuss individual student concerns.

Teachers of multiple classes may designate certain times that they are discussing each course specifically. However, if you are not able to make it to the time for your course you may certainly drop in during another course to Meet the Teacher.

For the rest of the calendar year, meals at school are FREE to ALL students. However, if you normally qualify for free/reduced status, you will still want to fill out the application to ensure that meals from January on are not charged to you. Information on how to apply online is posted HERE

*Helpful Tips when Registering:

1. Students must use their school’s AI code when completing the student information section. WHS's code is 490229

2. Students must check that they are a senior when completing the student information section.

3. The electronic code for WVDE-sponsored fall testing is different than a fee waiver code – if they are attempting to enter the electronic code where they are asked if they have a fee waiver code then they will get an error.

***Any student who paid out of pocket for a test but has a code for a WVDE-sponsored test can indeed get a refund by calling customer service. If they feel they are not getting the resolution they want to their call, they can contactwvsat@collegeboard.org.
