From the Desk of Dr. Kempf
West Families,
The second semester has started and we are getting into a consistent routine at school. These winter months can be the hardest to maintain student engagement in classes. Thank you for your assistance in getting your students ready for learning every day, at home and in-building. Schedules of any future changes are always posted in this newsletter and on our social media platforms. Also, students are always made aware of changes in classes by the teachers leading up to a schedule change.
Please stay informed by reading all school communications and the weekly newsletter. You can also follow us on our social media platforms Twitter (www.twitter.com/westwarhawks), Facebook (www.facebook.com/westmswarhawks), and Instagram (www.instagram.com/westmswarhawks). Also, at the bottom of the newsletter there are red buttons to click on that will take you directly to those pages to make it more user friendly.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kempf

Spelling Bee Information!
Douglas County has announced that it now will have a spelling bee. This announcement is a relief to West as it will allow the student who wins the school-wide spelling bee to participate at the county level. The student who wins the county bee will proceed to the state level.
