The Grossmont Union High School District is conducting a preliminary survey on student and family preferences related to on-campus and distance learning options for the 2021-22 school year.

2. Distance Learning Only = All classes offered online with live Zoom meetings five days a week. Students generally do not come to campus.

Many of you may already be aware that sports are in full swing. We are thrilled that our student-athletes can get back to the sports they love, and know that the West Hills community is too. As much as we would love to see all our Wolf Pack fans in the stands, we must follow strict regulations regarding spectators to ensure that our programs can complete their seasons.

For all sporting events, at home and away, spectators are extremely limited. Each player is permitted a maximum of four “immediate household family members”. Spectators are checked in at the gate. If there are multiple games at one event (i.e., JV and Varsity) the venue must be cleared of all spectators between events. The “immediate household family” cohort must stay seated together throughout the event, and masks are required. In addition, no children are permitted to an event without a parent or guardian.

We look forward to the day when all our Wolf Pack supporters can attend our events. Until that time comes, we appreciate your cooperation as we implement these regulations.

Thank you and GO WOLF PACK!

The West Hills Administration Team

Last week our committee meet and discussed many different items!

If you would like to join us in our next meeting, please email April Baker (abaker@guhsd.net) or Robin Ballarin (rballarin@guhsd.net) and we will add you to the email invite.

Our sub-committees were the idea of students in our committee at large and are student lead! We welcome all who want to work on our racial, gender, religious and cultural equity issues within our community.

You may read the notes from our latest meeting here.

Our next meeting is April 27th from 4:00-5:00pm via Zoom.

On May 3rd we will move to our Level 4 bell schedule.

West Hills plans to offer two sessions of Summer School this year! Students who have failed (F) a course that is needed for graduation will have priority.

The tentative dates are: Session 1 - June 14-July 2 and Session 2 - July 6 - July 23.

Our goal is to have as many Summer School courses in-person/on campus as possible but will have some online options for those who are continuing in distance learning.

Thank you and GO WOLF PACK
