What would you most like to see happen this school year?

seniors should be able to leave the school for lunch
I agree, seniors should be trusted to leave the school for lunch and return on time. If they fail to do so, punishment. The only issue I see arising with this is that what if something were to happen to the student while he/her were gone? Would the school be held responsible? I’m thinking yes…
I honestly think we should build a garden so students can sit outside for lunch.
I think it would be a lovely experience for us all.
There needs to be more meat free food options at lunch time.
I think we should be allowed to cut across the yard in the middle of the school building to get to class. There are already doors. It would be a great oppertunity to reduce traffic, decrease the time to get to class, and get some fresh air.
We should have a few more sides for friday’s lunches. I’m paying $2.45 for pretty decent size lunches on most days, but then there’s friday. Pizza … and milk. SOMETIMES a desert, sometimes.
The pep rallys should really take place in the gym rather than the stadium. The stadium is nice and all, but it was way too hot to have any fun. The cheerleaders seemed tired, the players were all sweaty and bothered, and it was honestly one of the least-fun pep rallys I’ve attended here at WDHS. According to a poll on the WD Talon website, students/teachers prefer the rallys inside. So why not?
Why isn’t there mismatch day or superhero day? They’re the best ones.
I feel as if spirit week should change. The categories are so LAME. What happened to mismatch and superhero day? What am I supposed to wear for birthday day my birthday suit? Like cmon really. They need to change.
The school should offer two types of Spirit Wear shirts. Not everybody likes the “catchy” ryhmes, paticularly thr guys. Can you also make a shirt that says WDHS Class of… I think that would be much better and more people would buy them.
Agreed. The ryhmes are kind of corny and deter me from buying the shirts.
I feel that the school is violating our rights by blocking internet websites, such as ESPN. It should be at the teachers discretion whether or not to allow access to the internet, depending on what class, or the amount of work that has to be completed.
i think the spirit this week has awful categories. its not fair that my senior year spirit week is wasted by the days no one likes anyway. they got rid of the two best days and put something about the schools birthday! we don’t like that! its cool that its the 50th anniversary of the school but we shouldn’t have to waste a spirit week day for that… especially since theres only 4 days this year!
i think that this school should not have assigned lockers and we should pick our spots. I do not like the kind of people i have in my little section.
yeah my locker is all the way by the gym i have to carry like 4 binders to not be late!
when is the spring supplement to last year’s year book coming out? Also, what happened to watermelon at lunch and domino’s pizza is like once a month?
i want peaches at lunch
In my opinion we should have a rowing team at our school. Many other public schools in our area do and it is good exercise.
also a volleyball team
and an equestrian team. i don’t really know how that works, but a lot of schools are starting to have them.
I think these comments are up here to be answered. I don’t see one answered yet by faculty, some people have serious questions??
We may not necessarily reply to these suggestions, but we take the legitimate ones and try and help to get them changed through meetings with administrators and our weekly meeting
I think we should be able to enter the school through the gym doors in the morning. Many athletes or members of the band park in the athletic parking lot by the gym doors and when it is cold or raining out, we all have to run all the way to the doors by the band hallway.
the cafeteria should sell pretzels everyday!
I think we should get a full period for lunch. Instead of switching grades, do one period for 9th and 10th, and another period for 11th and 12th. It’s not fair that we have to rush to eat for less than 20 minutes, and if you’re someone who buys, the lines are so long so you have even less time to eat. I say you should think about this a lot, and really consider it.
I think there should be a martial arts team, there are many people in the school who know martial arts, and dont show it in the public. The team could compete in competitions nationwide and maybe worldwide
Hi to all my kids.
I would like to thank you all so much for the beautiful get well card. You all are so special to me, I look forward to seeing you everyday. Have a great week off and be good!!!! See you on the 8th.
Love Miss Judy
There should be a parkour club in school. I know for a fact that many students in the school are interested in learning the art of parkour. I believe that one is able to express oneself via parkour, and it can be a very inspirational journey. Also, the parkour club would cost almost no money, so all that it would need would be the undying interest and love of parkour enthusiasts.
Parkour for Life!!
i think they should put fried chicken on the lunch menu agagin. i had it last year but only a few times.i liked it..and everyone loves chicken who dont?
we pay $2.45 everyday for lunch and we don’t even get full servings. last friday i got pan pizza with juice, milk, and a pie. where are the fruits and veggies? or anything else on the side? we are in a recession and we are hungry students with parents wasting money on a puny little lunch. i say we should pay less money or get more food with it.
I am agreeing with the suggestion above. The pricing is ridiculous. If we are paying $2.45 everyday, we deserve more food. Sometimes, I choose not to get the full meal (complete with sides). Regardless of whether or not I add sides, I am still charged the price of a full meal. Not cool at all.
i think that there sahould be more school dances in the school, homecoming was fun but more dances would be cool too
I believe we should have educational field trips to history museums and art gallerys or science fairs. At least once a year! It would be an amazing oppertunity to see the amazing things the world as to offer!
we should have a quidditch team here at west deptford high school.
I believe that the school should sponcer poetry readings. Singers, dancers, and athletes are presented with many ways to show that they have talent. Many students take pride in the art of poetry readings and show be allowed the same chance
I think there should be a recycling container back in the cafeteria. Imagine if 1000 kids had one recyclable a day*365 thats 365000 recyclables
The school should not make so many sites restricted, I mean I’m trying to look at articles on the football homepage and they come up acces denied. It’s just ridiculous and annoying.
The sites that the school blocks is ridiculous. I was trying to do my health homework and just because i typed in the word ‘sex’ it was access denied. Also i was trying to do my spanish blog and that was blocked too. I know its homework, but sometimes we dont have enough time, hence homeroom. But when everything is blocked, how am i supposed to do my assignments??
thanks.
It’s ridiculous how the school can have a line of 25 cars in front of there building and still say that students can’t be late. If they just opened up the street to the main doors, there wouldn’t be nearly as many problems. Also, if you’re not going to open it up, then you have to let students have more latenesses. Nobody should have to wait 5-10 minutes to pull into a school parking lot every day.
Take a look at Gateway High School’s lunch menu.

Now. Are you kidding me? For real? Floppy chicken vs. Collossal cheeseburger? Nachos with “real” cheese vs. Garden Salad?
THAT IS REDICULOUS! GATEWAYS LUNCHES AND CLEARVIEWS LUNCHES ARE SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER AND CHEAPER! LIKE ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THAT IS REDICULOUS! WHY CANT WE HAVE ALL OF THIS? I MEAN WE HAVE SO LITTLE CHOICE BUT IT COSTS SOO MUCH MORE MONEY TO PAY FOR IT!
The chain in the front needs to come down this morning it had traffic backed up onto 295.
We need a real exam schedule, like yesterday.
I was speaking to Dr. G about selling coffee in the school store before school. He told me that he liked the idea, and to speak to the student council about it.
So yeah, what do you guys think? Hahaha.
school store is DECA
Salt and butter should be provided in school lunches and students shouldn’t have to wait in the cafeteria before 7:15 in the morning
Hi, I think cameras should be installed on the telephone polls in bulldog parking lot. I think we should have a couple pretzel sales or fundraisers which go to installing 1 or 2 cameras in bulldog. This way, if anybody vandalizes a car you know who it is, and you can also make sure there are n fights going on. There are always fights in bulldog the staff doesn’t even know about.
Our school should be ashamed! The boys bathroom in the history/earth science hallway by the stairs only has 1 working faucet that barely spews out any water. Some faucets are missing and others just don’t work. This should definitely be addressed. Thanks
In the Boy’s bathroom with 2 stalls the stall doors are really low, you can see right over them. It makes it very awkward to go to the bathroom. Is there a chance someone could raise them?
I stumbled across the WDHS Student Council website merely by accident but, as Student Council President 1982-1983, I am very impressed with the suggestions and feedback that so many students are providing. Not only are you offering so many constructive (not negative) ideas for your student leaders to consider, you are also leading by example to those who will follow in your footsteps!
While I never thought I’d see the day when I would say, “when I was in high school” — that day has come and all I can say now is, “when I was in high school we did not have email, Internet or blogs to share our ideas.”
Keep up the good work everyone, it really is great to see!

I don’t think the way we schedule for classes works very good. Teachers make recommendations without talking to students first and then students are surprised when they go schedule. Plus most teachers just keep students where they are. Wouldn’t it be better if stuudents filled out a scheduling form and then got a teacher to sign it if they wanted to move up to honors or down to cp and then take that form to their guidance person?
Why can’t I get noney mustard with my burgers!!!! I asked the lunch lady and she said no. I see people putting BBQ sauce with their burfers. I’m confused. Does Honry Mustard cost that much more than BBQ sauce???
I think wdhs should organize a school trip to trenton so we can eat salt and butter right infront of the state government, and then throw the excess at them. I’ll have you know that the quality of my school ordered lunch has dropped due to the loss of these harmless elements which have been removed on false claims and unjust reasoning. I have been eating salt and butter every day at lunch for the last 11 years and im as healthy as I can be. I’m extremely displeased.
If you look at the school lunch menu on Fridays, the only thing they serve is pizza and a cup of soup. How can the school charge 2.45 for a slice of pizza and soup some students don’t even get?
I think we should have school trips.
i think we should have a 4 way tug of war between the classes on pep rally
The “traffic pattern” in the morning is ridiculous. This really needs to get fixed I have been late numerous times getting dropped off. Today it was backed up to Rock Products at 7:20 in the morning!
We should go visit the middle school and tell the the next years 8th graders about how easy it is to fit in, or something similar.
really, google news is blocked? that is ridiculous.
