October 12th Weekly Blog (Tuesday Edition)

 Purpose Corner -This video is what I created and was shared with students in their Advisory lesson this past Monday. It is a reminder of how we will continue to function as all students come back into the building next week Tuesday. Here is a link to the transcript of this video if you prefer to read the message.




October 19th Weekly Schedule - Please see the schedule below that we will be following beginning the week of October 19th: 




October 26th Weekly Schedule - The week of October 26th is a short week for students ending with a half-day of classes on Wednesday, October 28th, and no school on October 29th or 30th. Our goal during these shortened weeks is to provide equal time for students in each of their classes. Please see the schedule below that we will be following during this week. Busses will arrive to take students home at 1:10 P.M. on early release days.



District Robotics Team CORE 2062 - Our district robotics team, CORE 2062 lost out on the opportunity to showcase what they do as a club at our Welcome to West night this past spring due to COVID.

Mr. Egnarski Shout Out!! - West's own Mr. Brandon Egnarski has been recognized as a "Teacher Leader" by Uncharted Learning. This means he is a teacher who contributes to the INCubatoredu and MobileMakersEdu professional learning communities in significant ways by sharing his learning and experiences as a growth-minded educator to inspire others! Way to go Mr. E!! You can access the Uncharted Learning website through this link...



COVID Process - Now that we are having to deal with isolation and quarantine processes that come along with living in the COVID era, I wanted to share a district  FAQ document that may help families understand that all the processes that West High School follow, come from our district and are not individually created by West. My role is to consistently follow these processes along with every other school in our district. 




School District COVID Dashboard - Our school district does have a COVID dashboard that is public for anyone to follow.
