Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to the entire West community! I wish all of you a restful holiday break, full of joy with lots of peace sprinkled in! This is your friendly reminder that school resumes again on Tuesday, January 2nd, 2024!!


Purpose Corner - This week I focus on student community behaviors and driving in our parking lots. This message needs to be heard by very few students, but it is always good for the majority of students to hear expectations reinforced. The transcript of the video can be accessed through this link




Semester 1 Exam Schedule - Semester exams begin on Wednesday, January 16th, 2023. Below are the expectations and schedule for exam week as they have always been......

  • Students are expected to be in attendance for all eight class periods during finals week including study halls, they are not optional.
  • Students do not have to be in attendance for make-up or review/conferencing time unless required by their teacher. Students who come in during this time need to be in a supervised location for the duration of the time. Students can be with a teacher in their classroom, or in the Media Center or Cafeteria.
  • Students do not have the option to miss a scheduled exam hour and then take it during the make-up session unless they have communicated with their teacher a legitimate absence reason. Students risk losing this opportunity to show more evidence of their learning which could affect their semester grades.  
  • All students should be in their designated classroom during their final exam hour for the entire period and are NOT to be released early, as other exams are occurring.
