Western Local School District

Any Junior that has signed up to take the ACT will participate in a preregistration session next week with Mrs. Runions. The ACT will be given on March 10th at the high school. Just a reminder that important information and a practice test for students can be found at act.org/content/act/en/products-and-services/state-and-district-solutions/act-info-for-examinees.html

This message is for staff, student drivers and parents who are driving. There are some patches of black ice from the freezing fog last night and our parking lot is icy and there's really not a lot we can do about it. We've been putting down some salt, but it's icy everywhere in the parking lot so make sure you're careful driving especially on the back roads and when getting out of your car in the parking lot.

Just a reminder that there is no school for students on Friday or Monday. Unfortunately, they were already scheduled days off and we aren't able to change the approved calendar.

This message is for parents of student drivers. Please tell them to be careful this morning. Any place that has a little bit of water running across the road is going to be slick so please just tell them to be careful. Thanks.

We will be running all routes at regular time tomorrow! Hallelujah!!!!

The junior high game has been canceled for tonight. Symmes Valley is having some flooding and can't get all of their players to the school.

Reminder for ALL Western CTC and High School Seniors! Herff Jones will be here at the High School at 8:15AM tomorrow (Wednesday, February 11th) to deliver Graduation Cap and Gown orders! If you can not make it then, that is fine just see Mrs. Wessel to get it when you can. If you still owe any money on it, you have to pay before you are allowed to take it with you. Thank you!

This is for grades 6-11 Reminder: We have canceled the CCP informational meeting for this evening February 10th. We will post a new date as soon as we have one. Thank you!

Due to the 2 hour delay tomorrow, February 9th, the Junior High Spelling Bee will now be Tuesday, February 10th at 9:00AM.

We will be operating on a two hour delay tomorrow. Because of the snow this morning every back road is covered. County roads are in pretty good shape but still could use some daylight. I ran around all afternoon checking roads and there are still icy places but for the most part they're in pretty good shape so we will be able to go tomorrow, but we will be on two hour delay. I will put out a message later this evening with all the roads that we will not be running tomorrow. That list will likely be the same as we've been doing for the past couple of weeks. It looks like we have almost survived the worst winter in 49 years. I'm hoping this is the last time I'm gonna have to call about a weather situation.

Freshmen, JV, and Varsity Boys Basketball @ Wheelersburg has been moved to Monday, 2/16 starting at 5:00.

Western youth league games for this evening are cancelled.

With the 2 hour delay tomorrow, the Junior High Spelling Bee will now be Monday, February 9th at 9:00AM in the High School Gym.
