JV & Varsity Boys Basketball game vs Notre Dame has been rescheduled for 1/13/2026 Home @ 6:00.
This is a reminder for students who ride Donna's bus that we will still be splitting her route just like we did before Thanksgiving because she has to drive for Brandis for the rest of this week. I'm resending the schedule. Everything is the same as before except for tomorrow, we will, of course, be two hours later than the time on the schedule.
Sorry. I should've clarified. We will be on a two hour delay on Wednesday, 12/3. We won't ever do a one hour delay.
124 is really good shape and the back roads are pretty good. There will definitely be ref freezing tonight on these wet roads so we're going to start out on a delay in order to give our bus drivers daylight to see to hit their turnarounds, which are still snow-covered They liked to drive in. Student drivers please be careful in the morning. Anyone who needs to drop their kids off at normal time can do so. We will have staff there so you can drop them off at normal time if you have to get to work at regular time.
We are still under a Level 2 snow emergency, the decision has been made to cancel the JV & Varsity Boys Basketball game this evening against ND. I will post as soon as a make up game has been rescheduled.
Western will be closed. Enjoy the only day of the year!
I may have to apologize for this in the morning, but I'm going to go ahead and call a two hour delay. Everything I see says that it's going to snow all night and I want to give everyone as much time as possible to figure out what to do with your kids if we do cancel tomorrow. If we end up canceling, I will make the call by six. I don't like to make decisions based on the forecast, but the forecast and the radar are both saying the same thing. If we end up not canceling any parent who has work obligations can drop your kids off in the morning. I will be there either way.
Just a reminder that there is no school tomorrow for students. Kids, enjoy the last day of Thanksgiving break. Parents, we will do our best to take them off your hands on Tuesday!
I hope each and every Western Indian, old or young, near or far, had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I can never express how thankful I am for this school and for this community. Thank you so much for your support and your love of our school and our kids!! Once an Indian, always an Indian!!
