Western Local School District

Tree has been removed so buses will run as scheduled.

There is a tree down at the intersection of Pinetop and Aeurville. The fire department is on its way, but probably won't be done before we have to go through there with the bus so Doug is going to go around and get all of the kids on Pinetop and the rest of his route. Penny will get all the kids on Aeurville. Times should be pretty close to normal.

Just a reminder about the early dismissal today. Students will be released at noon. All sports practices, including youth league. are canceled for safety concerns due to the eclipse.

We will be dismissing at noon on Monday, April 8. That will give kids time to get home before the eclipse. There will be no ball practices or ball games on Monday evening.

This is just a reminder to families that if you have had a change of address, (in or out of our district) we need to know so we can update it in our system! We send a lot of important things home through the mail for all students. To change your address all you need to do is bring in a proof of address to the main offices. Examples of this are : Electric bill, phone bill, water bill, rent receipt, or a notarized letter from your landlord that you live there. Also if you have had a phone number change please call or come in to the main offices and get this changed as well. It is very important for us to be able to get ahold of you in case of an emergency or anything pertaining to your child.

Sorry for the late notice, but we're going to have a two hour late this morning until we can assess the damage from the storm. I know we have a tree on Grassy Fork in an electric line. I'm sure there will be plenty of others and we need to run the buses in the daylight for safety.
