SEPTEMBER 2019
From Principal Boran
Welcome Back! I hope your summer was relaxing and rejuvenating. I had the opportunity to spend a few weeks with my family in Australia (my husband may never have a new car, but it was worth it!) and have returned rested and restored.

We have been hard at work  all summer refining and streamlining our plans for the school year. While many of our teachers have been trained in Developmental Designs, we are ensuring that all classroom teachers and support staff will be trained by December. This will allow students to experience coherent, consistent expectations with regard to classroom practices and systems. Because our students move through seven classrooms a day, coherence really matters.  Read More >>> (including new key staff,  Start On Time, Cell Phone Policy , Parking Reminders and more)
Bell Schedules

Report Attendance Online
Did you know parents can request full day excused absences for their student online now? CLICK HERE for more information. Parents are welcome to continue to call the student's SLC office or send a note with the student. The online form is simply an additional option for attendance reporting. SLC Office phone numbers are listed HERE.
School Information
Have a question about policies and procedures at West?  Chances are it is covered in our West High School Supplement To The District Policy Guide. This resource has a wealth of West High School information regarding topics such as attendance, school calendars, staff phone numbers and emails, clubs, athletics, schedule changes, credit requirements, lockers, parking, work permits, tutoring, guidance counselors, and more.
Go-To-School Night
Walk through your student's daily schedule, meet teachers, and hear about class curriculum, expectations, and how to make contact during the school year. Parents: Please bring a copy of your students schedule to follow, or arrive at 6:40pm and pick one up in the Ash Entrance. More Information >>>
Freshmen Information
CLICK HERE for Freshmen Information. To ensure a smooth transition to high school, on Wednesday, September 11th at 6:30pm, 9th grade students and parents are invited to join us for a presentation outlining expectations for our 9th graders and providing important information about the procedures, tools, and supports available to help navigate West High School. A variety of students will be present to answer questions and offer insights and advice. Also, don't miss the Freshmen Party on Saturday, September 7th from 7:00-10:00pm in the West High Cafeteria and Cafenasium.  There is no cost for the party but students should REGISTER ONLINE or at the Welcome Center Friday, September, 6th. Parent volunteers are needed for the Freshmen Party, please  SIGN UP TO DONATE OR VOLUNTEER!

Thank You Enrollment Volunteers!
A very sincere thank you to all of our wonderful West High volunteers who helped during Enrollment days this year.  It takes a lot of planning and many hands to make sure that our students and families navigate the stations and receive the information they need.  Without help from our kind West High friends, it would not be possible. Thank you so very much for making the start of the new year a smooth one.
