Hello WHS Family,
Yesterday the students (Grades K-7) went home with a SIGN & RETURN letter for the 2026-2027 school year. Please let us know if your child will be returning to Worthington Hooker School. It is very important that we receive a signed letter for each student by May 22, 2026. If your child will not be returning to WHS, sign the letter and come to the main office to fill out a withdrawal form.
