In order to help us retrieve all of your items as well as provide us with information to expedite this process, we are requiring all graduates to fill out the "Senior/Graduate Pickup Day" form. This form will be critical to help us find your items as we will be looking through the entire building to get your things, the information you provide will make this much smoother... thank you!! Through this form we are also seeking information regarding graduation orders, so please answer this question as well. This form must be completed by Tuesday, May 26th, 2020, and linked below.
The Map (linked below) shows our traffic flow for this process and provides you the numbered stations you may need to stop at. If a station does not apply to you, there is plenty of room to cautiously drive on. All stations will be clearly labeled. We ask that all drivers adhere to this map and follow the traffic flow to avoid issues and keep this process going smoothly.
*This is a drive-by process and we ask individuals to stay in their vehicles unless a specific circumstance arises of which our staff will ask for your assistance! Our staff will be social distancing and will have the individual choice to wear masks.
*We ask that all are patient during this process, as it is new to us and we will be working to make things go smoothly.

Graduation Update - Last week I previewed that the time for the West graduation ceremony which is scheduled for Saturday, July 18th will most likely change, because of streaming ability. It is currently scheduled for 11:00 A.M. and when I find out a final time I will communicate it out with all graduates and their families.

AP Pacesetter Recognition for 2019 - The Wisconsin Advanced Placement Advisory Council (WAPAC) recently announced the 2019 Advanced Placement Pacesetter Awards. WAPAC is comprised of Wisconsin secondary and collegiate educators that are dedicated to expanding access to Advanced Placement (AP) coursework and rigorous learning for all students. The Pacesetter Awards are unique to Wisconsin. They recognize schools for promoting both access to and excellence in AP courses. Schools are acknowledged for their efforts at three different levels. West High School was recognized at level 1 which is the highest level! Approximately 140 schools meet the criteria for recognition at one of the levels. West was 1 of 24 schools to receive level 1 distinction which puts us in the top 17% of all schools that qualify. This is a community celebration!!
Fee Update - I have sent the following information to all families previously about fees, here is another chance to look at it:
Due to the Virtual Learning environment, the school district is crediting the following fees to your student's Infinite Campus account. If you have a surplus balance, the surplus will be automatically applied to 2020-2021 Student Fees when assigned in August.
- Seniors with a surplus balance will receive a check mailed to the primary household in July after books and iPads are turned in.
- Field Trips- Field Trips are being credited to Infinite Campus as the list of students and amounts are turned into the business office.
- Parking Passes- Spring Parking Permit purchases will receive a $60 credit
- Athletic Fees- The entire $150 athletic fee will be credited to Infinite Campus for those students that participate in only Spring Sports (athletic coaches who collected additional funds for equipment/apparel are working with our athletic department to refund these fees)
