Student shout out to teacher - She is very inspiring and refreshingly positive and full of energy. She gives us choices on what we want to do as opposed to dictating our lesson plan to us. She is an effective teacher while being fun and down to earth. She is highly creative and one of a kind, she is a great teacher to have and person to get to know in general.
Staff shout out to student - In class, I noticed that (Student) was petitioning that his peers voted for a specific student for Homecoming court. When I asked him why that boy should win he said, "He has to work really hard in school, and he is the nicest person in the entire grade. He encourages everyone and is always positive. He should represent our class." I don't know the other boy, but I thought it spoke volumes of (Student) that he noticed these behaviors in a peer and that he felt so strongly to recognize these qualities during Homecoming.
District Career Fair - This is a wonderful district wide event for all students grades 6-12. Feedback from the event last year was that is was excellent and well worth the opportunity to have colleges and businesses come to us here in Waukesha. Please consider attending!
Purpose Corner - Please enjoy the video which continues the discussion of our focus for this year at West High School and touches upon our Educator Effectiveness system more in depth.

Fall Parent/Teacher Conferences - Parent teacher conferences are on Tuesday October 24th from 4:00 P.M. - 7:00 P.M. at West High School. Teachers will be in their classrooms per our usual format. Teachers manage their own conferences so parents will experience different processes for meeting with each teacher. Communication from parents to teachers is critical for success and technology allows us to communicate better than we ever have. With that being said, I ask all parents to consider if they truly need to come in and take a teachers time if their child is meeting expectations. Being that the time is short, and the purpose of this night is geared for parents and students to meet with teachers if they need more support, please consider alternate means of communication to maximize teacher time. It can be very difficult to meet with all teachers on this night, so I encourage parents to pick half of their child's teacher to try and get to on this night.
