Awards Assembly
End of the School Year
On June 2 and 3, we will be running a block schedule (see below) for students who are in danger of failing the semester. Class periods will be 80 minutes long, and will provide students with one last opportunity to demonstrate their learning in an effort to earn a passing grade.
Busses will run on their normal schedule, and the cafeteria will be open all day for students who come to school, but are not required to be in a particular class period. Students in the building will need to be in either their assigned classroom or the cafeteria.
A Few Reminders...
If your student needs to leave school during the school day, please contact our attendance secretary, Amanda Bartell, and she will send an electronic pass to the student to show the teacher. Attendance Line: 507-387-2490. Attendance Email: westattendance@isd77.org.
Please remind students that they need a front lot pass to park in the student lot, and a back lot pass (limited number for PSEO students) to park in the back lot. The baseball lot is available for students who do not have a pass. Due to the limited parking, students parking without a permit are subject to towing.
