We know how forecasts go but here's the most current one for our area!
We are going to be operating on a 2 hour delay tomorrow morning. Temps won't be terrible but windchillls are predicted to by at or below zero with potential slick roads. My biggest concern is wind damage. There's a likelihood of limbs or trees being down and I'd rather face that in the daylight. I hate for kids to have to stand out in the wind and cold waiting for a bus that may be stuck waiting for a tree to be cut.
If you need to send your kids at normal time due to work scheduling you can drop them off at the front of either building at normal time and we'll take care of them.
FASFA Night
We are only 2 days Away!! We hope you will come and join us! We have attached a map so you will know the lay out of the event on Friday. We will start off with the annual Tree lighting up front at 6:00 PM and then head to the back to start the tailgate! As you will see on the map, Pictures with Santa, will be inside the High School Cafeteria. Food will be inside the Community center. We will have our T-shirt shop up and running for you to shop if you choose! We will have Hot chocolate set up in the concession trailer! Everything is FREE, unless you want to purchase a shirt!! If you have any questions or would like to set up, please contact Brock Brewster or Carolyn Wessel at the High School!
Our 12 Days of Christmas Dress up starts tomorrow! ( This is the High School/ Junior High Calendar.) There are 2 days that are a little different than the Elementary one! Please make sure all dress up days still follow dress code and are school appropriate.

All juniors must return their ACT opt in/opt out form ASAP. These need to be signed by a parent/guardian. The ACT will be given at the school for Western juniors on February 25, 2025. This year, students may choose to opt out if they are not planning on attending college, but a form must be on file with the school. Please see Mrs. Runions if you need another form.

This message is for students who ride Brandis' bus. She is unable to drive this morning and our other subs are already driving so we will have to do a double route. First pick up should be right around 8 o'clock, but I will send out a message to confirm.
