Withdrawing a student from Victory Middle School:
If you will be withdrawing your student from Victory Middle School, please complete the Intent to Withdraw from WASD form in PowerSchool/SchoolForms at least three 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 their next educational environment. You may also contact the registrar, Leah Westfall at westfall.leah@westada.org or at 208-350-4453. Thank you in advance for your consideration and communication.
