If you purchased a yearbook and have graduated, please contact Mrs. Debbie Roland at droland@wwusd.org or 262-472-8209 to arrange your pick up. Please note that teachers and staff are in meetings all next week so yearbook pick up will not be available during that time.

In order to include Prom, spring sports, and graduation in the yearbook, we have moved to a summer delivery. We are planning a distribution event in early August to pass out books, enjoy a cookout, and let students have one final get-together before they head their prospective ways. We understand some graduates might already be off on their next adventures, but, hopefully, the date will work for most. We will be in contact via IC and social media once more information is available. If you have any questions, please contact Kate Weston at kweston@wwusd.org.

We can't wait! On June 8, Whitewater Unified School District will be launching their new web site! The address will stay the same, but the look and feel will be brand new!
