  • This is a common problem that students face.  Find the power button on the right side of the laptop.  Hold it down for about 30 seconds (it will feel like forever).  The laptop will turn off along with the power light.  Then it will wait for a bit and turn on again.  Once the screen lights up again, you can remove your finger.

    This resets any saved cookies or other internet settings.  It should fix the problem with Farm 2.  If this does not fix the laptop, please report the issue to your teacher right away so that he or she can send it to the school IT person for repair.

  • Unfortunately, student laptops do not work on any Wifi network but the one at school.  The laptop would not work from home for you to finish work on.  You can check out a laptop from Ms. Sigman or Joelle during the school day if needed.  You can also use a laptop during tutoring or in the library at lunch.  Any of these is a good way to get late work done or to be able to apply for colleges.

  • This is a quote directly from the Student Handbook:

    "A four-year program is normal for most high school students. However, Alchesay High School recognizes the desire of a few students to complete their high school program in fewer than four years. A student who wishes to graduate early must complete the following:

    1. Submit a written permission form by the parent/guardian and Principal.

    2. Meet with Counselor or Registrar to create Graduation Proposal and Post-Secondary Plan.

    3. Complete core coursework in regular classroom. College classes submitted for dual credit are permissible but Credit Recovery may not be used for early graduation.

    4. Meet all District and State graduation requirements."

    For further information about accomplishing these tasks, please see the Student/Parent Handbook.

  • Schedule changes only happen for the first two weeks of any semester.  Go see Ammie Palmer in the counseling center between classes or before or after school.  You can leave a note on her door.  You can also email her.  Her email address is her firstname.lastname@wusd.us.  If you need help getting into your email, please see the tab below about logging in to email.

  • Some laptops are slower than others because of how much they have been used.  If yours is slow or is disconnecting from the internet, one way you can fix this is to force it to find another Access Point to the school network.  Restart the laptop one of two ways:

    1. Hold down the power button on the right side of the laptop until the light turns off and then comes back on again.  It will feel like forever but it is only about 2 minutes.  It is a quick way to reset the device.
    2. Click the windows icon at the bottom of the screen , click the power icon  and choose "Restart".

    When you log in again, things should be faster because your computer has found a different connection to the network.

  • Bloomz is the app that school staff use to communicate with parents, students and the community.  You can text and communicate with your teacher, coach or other school staff.  You also get alerts from your classes and you'll know when school is cancelled or late start.  You can get to bloomz from Clever but you also should download the app and log into it on your phone.  You can log in one of 2 ways. 

    First method: Open the app after you have downloaded it and then click the "Log in with Clever" button.  Use your wusd.us username and password.

      Second method: Get your individual sign on code from your teacher, coach or the front office (see Ms. Sigman or Joelle).  Log in to the app directly using the code.  When it asks for your username USE YOUR WUSDSTUDENT EMAIL ADDRESS.  This is very important.  Choose a password for Bloomz and log in.  Add your student phone number to your profile so that you get text messages sent to you when someone sends you a message in Bloomz.  Click here for a web page that will tell you how to log in from Bloomz on a computer.  Here is an article that tells you how to use a code to log in.

    Click here to find out how to add your phone number to Bloomz so that you can get text messages.

  • Why phones stay away during class

    1. Your brain can't actually multitask.
    What feels like "half-listening while texting" is really your brain rapidly switching back and forth — and every switch costs you. Research on task-switching shows people take longer overall and make more mistakes than if they'd done one thing at a time. You're not saving time by doing both; you're doing both worse.

    2. It's not just about you.
    A phone lighting up on your desk pulls the eyes of the people around you too — not just yours. Teachers see this constantly: one phone out becomes three people distracted, not one. It affects the whole room's ability to focus, not just your own.

    3. Recall and understanding take a real hit.
    Studies comparing students who keep phones away versus nearby during a lesson consistently find a gap in how much gets retained — even when the phone is just sitting there, off, not being used. Just knowing it's within reach uses up a little bit of your attention.

    4. Class time is limited and expensive.
    You're only in that room for a set number of minutes a day. Every minute spent re-focusing after a phone check is a minute of instruction you don't get back — and often the teacher has to slow down or repeat things, which costs everyone else time too.

    5. It's a skill you're building, not just a rule you're following.
    Being able to put a device away and concentrate on one thing for an extended stretch is a skill — one you'll need in college, in jobs, in relationships. High school is genuinely a decent place to practice it, before the stakes are higher.
