I know it's been a while since you've heard from me regarding the "Rooms" app but now it's really important for you to download the "Western Local Schools" app on your smartphone. Please click the links for your device and download our app. I'll follow up with instructions and more information about the "Rooms" portion of the app.

Board meeting 10/9 in Room 101 at 6pm.
No school today for Western!
I want to give a special "Thank you" to our custodians! I'm in schools all over southern Ohio and I may be a little biased but there isn't a campus anywhere that looks better than ours! I can't count how many times I've shocked people by telling them that our buildings are 19 and 25 years old! Our custodians and maintenance staff not only keep our buildings and grounds looking great but they also take care of our kids!!! They keep everything running smooth for everyone else and they all deserve a very special thank you!! If you see one of our custodians or maintenance guys around let them know you appreciate them!
All Seniors: Pictures for the composite (on the wall) will be taken on Wednesday, October 4th beginning at 7:45 am. The seniors riding the CTC bus will get their pictures taken first. The bus will wait. All senior young men need to wear a shirt and tie. See Mrs. Schuler if you need to borrow one.
Elementary fall pictures are Tuesday October 3rd and high school pictures are Wednesday October 4th. All students have received picture packets but we know that doesn't mean they've shared that information with parents. I'm attaching a form with the FB post but it won't come through on the text. If you need a packet please contact either the elementary or the high school.
Weekly athletic update for a busy week!
We were able to get South Gallia to switch home and away dates with us so the Homecoming game will be 1/19 and the dance will be 1/20. That allows us a makeup weekend later in case we have bad weather.
I apologize for the message overload. This does include CTC students. The bus is on the way.
If you need me to get a message about a bus, please text me and I will forward it on to Rachel or Bethany or both. I can't get a phone call through so if you put in a text message, I will be sure to have the right information and I will forward it straight onto them. Thank you.
As many of you are aware, we do not have electric at school. AEP estimates restoration time between one and 130. Therefore, we will not be able to make lunch. We will be dismissing students starting at 10:30. Some will leave a little later because we are waiting for all of the buses to get in but no buses will leave before 1030. As always, we will not drop students off if no one is home. We will bring your child back at the school and make arrangements for you to pick them up if you are not able to be home. There's no way to get a phone call to school because our phones are web-based and require electric. If you have an emergency, you can text my cell phone at 7402228311 I will get a message to the school. If you aren't able to be home, please let me know and we will make arrangements. Anyone who wants to go ahead and pick up their kids can do so starting immediately.
We have a potential conflict with the homecoming game that I didn't catch. I apologize. We may have to move the date up a week. I'll have the final date by this afternoon.
We've made some changes to the HS boys basketball schedule. The game schedule is the same but we've moved around our "special events" a little. All special events are included in the schedule. Homecoming is hard to schedule because we have to have the HC game on a Friday night when there isn't a game the next day! The homecoming game will be on January 26th with the dance on January 27th. I'm attaching the revised schedule.
