Waynesboro Area Senior High School

Looking forward to seeing you on August 20!

Hello Waynesboro families, The “Current Schedule” feature in the Sapphire Community Web Portal is still down.  The Data Department has been in contact with programmers and developers at Sapphire in regards to the situation, it is a company wide issue for Sapphire, and they are working diligently to fix the problem.  Additionally, we are not the only district affected by the interface switch over with certain features.  As they work through these issues and things become available, the District will post and update on our website, social media and through a Boro Blast.  We are also aware of new account creation issues and Sapphire is working through that as well.  You can still see your learner’s schedule on the left hand side under “Courses and Grades” for learners in grades 6-12.  Classroom teachers can be viewed by selecting “Student Information” for learners in grades K-5.  We appreciate your patience and understanding as Sapphire works through these issues as they improve the Community Web Portal experience. Thank you.

The Community Web Portal is now open. WAMS and WASHS learners can see their classes under Courses and Grades. The color scheduler will be available to learners tomorrow. All learners should be able to see their homeroom teacher under student information. Transportation routes will be coming soon. If you have trouble accessing your portal, please reach out to your building secretary tomorrow morning. Thank you!
