Homecoming week is here!!! - We are very thankful to be able to have some fun and create a little school spirit with homecoming festivities during this week. Below is a preview of the week followed by information that was sent to students today from Mr. LeMieux regarding the process that needs to be followed for all grade level students to attend soccer games and for our Seniors to be able to attend the football game this week!!!!



Hello West Students,


The Classic 8 Conference has continued to review spectator policies through the fall sports season, and this week we have an exciting development.  Effective for this week, West SENIORS are able to attend football games, and ALL grade levels may attend soccer events in our stadium!

For soccer games, you will simply need to show your student ID at the gate.  The first opportunity is TONIGHT when Boys Soccer takes on Muskego, 6:30pm.

For football games, a sign-up will be necessary to be sure that we do not exceed our student limit of 100 students.  If you are a SENIOR interested in attending the Homecoming Football Game on Friday, October 9th, please watch for a form to be sent to you WEDNESDAY, 11:00am.  Students will be admitted in the order requests are received.

When attending West athletic events, it is important to keep a few expectations in mind:
  • Masks must be worn at all times, without exception
  • Check-in at the main gate with your student ID so that accurate attendance is taken
  • Upon entry, please report directly to your seats at the far end of the stadium
  • Beyond going to the restroom or concession stand, students must stay in the bleachers
  • No re-entry will be allowed
  • While in the stands, students must stay on their "yellow dot".  Failure to social distance or properly wear masks will result in removal from the event.
To see much more "game day" information such as streaming links, rosters, and sport by sport rules, please visit www.westwolverines.com/gameday.

I am excited to see many of you in the stands going forward.  Please do your part to ensure that this privilege can stay in place and even grow to include more West students in the future.

Go WEST!
Mr. LeMieux

Civics Exam - It is a graduation requirement for all students to pass a state-mandated civics exam. Junior students will be taking it in classes soon. Please access this study guide to help in preparing to pass the assessment.  


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.
