Withdrawing a Student from Victory Middle School
If you will be withdrawing your student from Victory Middle School, please contact the registrar (Leah Westfall) at least two days prior to your student’s last day at the school. We have a simple form to complete and some basic information to collect in order for your student to make a smooth transition to his/her next educational environment. Please be prepared to return all items that have been checked out to your student (ie. laptop, charger, stylus, hotspot, textbooks, building access badge, etc.) Thank you in advance for your communication and assistance.
Kodiak Coaches' Den
Central District Health moved West Ada School District into category red. Transitioning into red operations means there are adjustments to competition, as outlined in our pandemic game management plans.
While middle school athletics will continue, in accordance with our game management plan, spectators may not attend events on West Ada School District property beginning October 19.
Covid-19 reminders: Please do not send your child to practices and competitions if he/she is not feeling well. Each athlete is encouraged to have their own water bottle and hand sanitizer.
