  • West Linn Ambassadors

    Made up of 11th and 12th grade students at our school, the West Linn Ambassadors organize our 9th grade orientation and work throughout the year to help 9th grade students make the transition to high school. As current students themselves, they offer a good perspective on the high school experience and what you can do to make the most of your four years here.

  • WLHS Counselors

    Your counselor will most likely be the person to talk to about scheduling, academic questions, questions about the transition to high school, mental health, or other supports you need for high school. They are also truly good people, who are delightful to talk to! Scroll down on the attached page to find contact information for your counselor.

Frequently Asked Questions for 9th Grade

  • How can I stay up to date on important information?

    For parents: We encourage parents to subscribe to our school email listserv, so that you receive principal updates and other electronic mailings from the school. You can sign up for this listserv here.

    Academic information: It is important that students check for communications from their teachers, counselors, and other staff regularly (at least once a week) during the school year. You should make it a habit to check your teachers' Google Classroom pages regularly, as well as your school email account. Each student has a Gmail account that you can sign in to with your school email and password.
