Sorry for the late message. Mr. Roush wanted me to remind all high school students that tomorrow is not a dress-up day even though it is Halloween. All of those activities were last week.
We have two buses that are not able to run their regular routes today because of a tree down Aeurville . Penny's kids will be getting picked up by the other three drivers who run 124 and the time should be pretty close to the same as normal. Doug will be picking up all of his kids except Penny will be getting Aeurville kids from her house up. He is running 20 to 25 minutes behind because he had to run his route the opposite way.
I apologize for the error on the P/T conference message. The PD day for staff will end at noon with the P/T conferences from 1pm-8pm.
Our first P/T conference is on Thursday, Nov. 9th. Our calendar has a half day for students on 11/9 with the P/T conferences starting at 4. We are going to change that to a half PD day for staff followed by the P/T conferences as scheduled. Students will not report to school on 11/9 at all. We hope to have as many parents as possible at the P/T conferences. If you are unable to come please contact your student(s) teachers to arrange a phone meeting if possible.
Mr. Lathe Moore, Administrator for the Pike Adult Education Program spoke with Seniors on Wednesday, October 25 about the many options available to them after high school. These options include EMT Training, Nursing Assistant, Phlebotomist/EKG certification, Medical Assistant, and CDL training. These are all excellent options for students who want to go straight into a career.
2023 Veterans Breakfast Invitation
In honor of our Western veterans and to show our appreciation for the sacrifices each of you have made in order to help preserve the freedoms that we enjoy today in this great country, Western Local Schools would like to invite you to our annual Veterans Day assembly on Wednesday November 8th. In addition to our annual Veterans Day assembly, we will be serving breakfast to our Western veterans beginning at 8:30. Our plans are to start the assembly at 9:30 am. In addition to the breakfast and assembly, we will be having a short ceremony at the Western Veterans Memorial to honor those Western Veterans who are no longer with us.
We sincerely hope you will be able to join us on November 8th at 8:30 am. If you plan to attend the breakfast please RSVP by November 3rd by phone at (740) 493-2514 or email me at brock.brewster at westernlocalschools . com . (I can't post full email address on FB). Unfortunately, we don’t have a complete, comprehensive list of all Western veterans. Please share this invitation with all Western veterans and encourage them to join us for breakfast, the assembly, and then the short ceremony. Everything will be concluded by 11 am. Thank you and we look forwarding to having another opportunity to honor our local veterans.
Sincerely
Brock D. Brewster

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.
