What's Up @ West
August 29, 2022

Welcome Back!
This was an exciting day, welcoming our new 7th grade students, along with new 8th and 9th graders. Lots of energy in the air and plenty of smiles to go around!
As we prepare for the return of all students tomorrow, we want to thank you for supporting your student as they return for another year of learning. We have made some adjustments to our schedule (in addition to the later start), which you'll see below. As the week proceeds, we will also be communicating with students about some shifts in our policies related to cell phone usage and on time attendance. We will be sure to share this information with you as well.
Our Open House is Wednesday, September 14 from 4-7pm and coincides with a wonderful Electric Vehicle Expo and the Grand Opening of our ICA Food Pantry. Many exciting events on the horizon for West! You'll be hearing from your student's CREW teacher, if you haven't already, and should always feel free to connect with them as your first point of contact in the building. You may also reach out to the general building number 952.988.4400 at any time with questions. Welcome to 2022-2023!
