Congratulations to the "Cadets" of Waukesha West for their 5th place finish this last Saturday at UW-Whitewater in the Class AAA Marching Band state championships! Please enjoy their performance of "Celtic Awakening" below:




Marching Band continued... - Please enjoy the video of the school send-off for our Cadets before the state competition, I always love the drumline energy!



State Tennis - Congratulation to Molly Asfeld who won her first two matches and made it to the round of 16 at the Wisconsin state Tennis tournament, a great ending to a great season!



Drama at West!! - The West End Players will be performing “The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940” this weekend only! Come watch as the crazy characters are hunted by the Stage Door Slasher in a hilarious house, where every twist and turn will leave you to wonder...just who is the killer? Tickets are on sale now at westdrama.com! Enjoy the show!



Bright Lights at West - Last week at the school board meeting students from our Live and Learn class here at West presented to the board and the greater community some of the things they do for their hands-on project-oriented class. They consistently go to places in our community to volunteer time. They are currently working on the Wolverine Wardrobe where students at West will be able to take or exchange clothing at any time they are in the building, it is a neat project! I specifically enjoyed hearing our students talk about how thankful they are to be able to have these community partnerships... the video below says it all, and a big shout out to our students for their presentation!



Representatives to the Board - A shout out to Senior students Ethan Wanner and Avina Elangovan for continuing to represent West after our Live & Learn class students started things off in a positive way. Ethan and Avina presented on all things that have happened at West to start the year and previewed some of the upcoming things we will be experiencing. Thank you!!


JIT (Just-In-Time) - JIT has been going well here at West!! JIT is a critical part of that journey. This is to ensure our students start strong in their academics!

Any student who has a failed learning target at every 4 ½ week progress check or before that time

OR

 Any student who is missing work for that previous

week or is in need of academic support in that class

The student is assigned in IC (students need to check IC for their JIT assignment on Monday afternoons) for a two-week period to receive teacher support in order to complete missing work and be passing the learning target. Students may be released early based on completed work. Students may be grouped together to work on similar targets/summatives
