Attention anyone who picked up food during the COVID school closing in the spring at Western. We have a boxed food distribution planned for 11 am on this coming Tuesday, August 4th. There is quite a bit of food available. Please pull around in front of the bubble “the junior high gym entrance” just like before. We will use the same system as before. Boxes of food will be put on the table out front and we will have one family at a time come up to the table to get their box or boxes. Thank you.

Students may carry a regular book bag with them during the school day. We are doing our best to limit hallway traffic so students will want to carry their things with them. Laptops/Chromebooks will be more protected when students are traveling from class to class in a regular book bag with more padding.
