Responsibility with Devices
With the devices comes responsibility. This is one of the 4-R's that we reference as a value at West for our community. Students exhibit responsibility with their device when they:
- charge their device nightly
- carry it in a back pack or sleeve as they move about the building
- use it appropriately and are on task during instruction
- keep food and drink away from the device
- bring their device EVERY day to school
Your support of device responsibility at home is an important part of this value for students. Here are ways to do this:
- identify a charging location outside of their sleeping area
- dedicate a specific time and area for homework to be completed and the device used
- limit screen time
- remind your child to bring their device daily to school
We encourage you to visit www.commonsensemedia.org/ for valuable information, tips, ideas for parents and students with technology. If you have questions, please call the school office.

Your Student's Lunch Account
Completing an application for free or reduced meals is available for all families. You can complete this form at the school or online at www.myschoolapps.com.
We want all students to enjoy a healthy meal to keep them feeling good and ready to learn. If you need assistance please contact your child's counselor at West.
Schedule Changes for Quarter 3
Students will receive their schedules today in their 8th period classes. Additional copies of schedules will be provided at $.25 each. Schedules can be viewed and printed through PowerSchool.
We are behind you Sam!
We are raising funds for Sam to help him with medical bills through various fundraisers. If you would like to become involved, talk with your student or call the school office.
The heart that our students and staff show to one another is incredibly touching. We are proud of our West Dawgs.
