From the Desk of Dr. Kempf
This week in-person students completed the Kansas Math Assessment. That leaves the Kansas Science Assessment for 8th graders the only state-required test left on our assessment calendar. For our distance learning students, the LPS Assessment and Accountability office emailed about the opportunity to take the assessment at Allen Field House sometime during the week of May 10-14. Please make sure your student is ready by having a fully charged iPad, a restful night's sleep, and good morning breakfast.
Save the date for 8th Grade Recognition on May 25th @ 1:00 on the Warhawk Football Field. 8th-grade students will be allowed 4 guests to attend recognition this year. Seating will be limited so we ask that you bring your chair if you want to sit. The actual ceremony lasts about 30 minutes so standing is also an option. We will send out a ceremony map about a week before the event. 8th-grade recognition outside is a new adventure for our building, but we are excited to offer our students and families the opportunity to celebrate.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kempf

Hello, West Families! COVID-19 may have all of us learning from a distance (whether it's 6 feet or miles apart) but it's still a great day to be a Warhawk! School spirit is one way for us all to feel a little more connected to our school community until we can be together again in person. You can get your West gear at the Warhawk Shop which is now available for browsing online! If you see a design that you like, use the order button to email me with what you'd like to buy. After receiving your order, I will reply with your order total, payment instructions, and arrange a pick up time. Get your Warhawk spirit on (even from home)!
