Regent Reporter - May 24th, 2022

Happy Tuesday. At West, we’re wrapping up the year with the Swing Dance on Friday night; NHS Induction Monday evening; the last Choir Concert of the year on Wednesday; and Honors Convocation on Thursday. That’s just this week.

This is a reminder that there are no classes on Friday, May 27th for teachers professional learning and no school on Monday, May 30th for Memorial Day.

The last Band/Orchestra Concert is Wednesday, June 1st; the last day of instruction is Monday, June 6th. You can learn more about the rest of our Bridge Days below. Then it’s graduation on Saturday, June 11th at the Kohl Center, 1-3pm.

Exciting but happening really, really fast. All that said, we hope you take the time this long holiday weekend to relax and enjoy your family and friends.

Crossing Guard Update

For the rest of the school year, there may not be a crossing guard at Highland Ave/Regent St. during the periods of West High School arrival and dismissal. This will vary daily - we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

While the crossing guard program's mission is to serve elementary school students, West High School has benefitted from a slightly extended crossing guard shift at Highland Ave/Regent St. In the coming weeks, coverage for elementary school students coming or going through this crosswalk will be prioritized.

Upcoming Events
