WASC VISIT FEB. 10, 11, 12
title

We are excited to share with you that Woodside High School will be hosting a WASC (Western Association of Schools and
Colleges) Visiting Committee from February 9-12. This is an important event for our school, and we wanted to share some
key details with you.
 
The Visiting Committee consists of six dedicated volunteers from other California schools. During their time with us, they
will celebrate, confirm, and reflect with our school community on student achievement of the schoolwide learner outcomes
and the academic standards. This process is essential to our ongoing accreditation, which ensures that our school meets
high standards of educational quality and continuous improvement.
 
Here are a few highlights of the visit:
What is WASC? The Western Association of Schools and Colleges is an organization that accredits schools and colleges.
Accreditation is required for schools to maintain their status and ensures that we meet rigorous academic and institutional
standards. Woodside High School’s last WASC visit was six years ago.
 
What to Expect: Students will likely see one or more of the six Visiting Committee members on campus. Some students
may even be invited to share their experiences during a lunch meeting or class visit. All classrooms will be observed at
least once during the three-day visit.
 
The school will be following a "Wednesday Schedule" on February 10, 11, and 12. We encourage everyone to review the
schedule here for more detailed information. Please let us know if you have any questions or if there’s anything we can
do to help prepare for this important event.
 
Thank you for your continued support in making Woodside High School a place of excellence

Para los padres:
Estamos emocionados de compartir con ustedes que Woodside High School será la anfitriona de un comité visitante de
WASC (Asociación Occidental de Escuelas y Colegios) del 9 al 12 de febrero. Este es un evento importante para
nuestra escuela, y queríamos compartir algunos detalles clave con ustedes.
 
El Comité Visitante está formado por seis voluntarios dedicados de otras escuelas de California. Durante su tiempo con
nosotros, celebrarán, confirmarán y reflexionarán con nuestra comunidad escolar sobre el logro estudiantil de los
resultados de aprendizaje en toda la escuela y los estándares académicos. Este proceso es esencial para nuestra
acreditación continua, lo que garantiza que nuestra escuela cumpla con altos estándares de calidad educativa y mejora
continua.
 
Estos son algunos de los aspectos más destacados de la visita:
¿Qué es WASC? La Asociación Occidental de Escuelas y Colegios es una organización que acredita escuelas y colegios.
La acreditación es necesaria para que las escuelas mantengan su estatus y garantiza que cumplimos con rigurosos
estándares académicos e institucionales. La última visita de WASC de Woodside High School fue hace seis años.
 
Qué esperar: Es probable que los estudiantes vean a uno o más de los seis miembros del comité visitante en la escuela.
Algunos estudiantes incluso pueden ser invitados a compartir sus experiencias durante un almuerzo, una reunión o una
visita a la clase. Todos los salones de clase serán observados al menos una vez durante la visita de tres días.
 
La escuela seguirá un "horario de miércoles" los días 10, 11 y 12 de febrero. Animamos a todos a revisar el calendario
aquí para  obtener información más detallada. Por favor, háganos saber si tiene alguna pregunta o si hay algo que
podamos hacer para ayudar a prepararse para este importante evento.
 
¡Gracias por su continuo apoyo para hacer de Woodside High School un lugar de excelencia.

Welcome to Woodside High School

Woodside High School is a fully accredited four-year comprehensive secondary school that has been serving the communities of the mid-peninsula since its opening in 1958. The 34-acre campus lies just east of the Santa Cruz Mountains and is one of four comprehensive campuses in the Sequoia Union High School District. The District’s total student population is
approximately 10,000.

The mid-peninsula is an area of great economic diversity containing some of the most affluent and the most economically deprived communities in the state. Just north of Silicon Valley and Stanford University, Woodside High School is influenced greatly by the rapidly evolving business and cultural interests of the region. Over the past half-century, Woodside High School has
emerged as one of the most dynamic and diverse comprehensive high schools on the San Francisco peninsula. We have been listed in Newsweek Magazine’s list of top high schools, and offer one of the most rigorous advanced placement college preparatory programs in the region.
