From our school nurse: Letters went home this week for all students in 7th and 12th graders that are not up to date on vaccines. If you received a letter for your child please get the required vaccines by 9/9/2020. After this date, the law provides that students NOT IN COMPLIANCE with these requirements MUST BE EXCLUDED from school until the student provides verification of the immunization received, has a scheduled plan signed by the physician, or obtains an exemption signed according to the provisions of the law. This also applies to any student doing blended learning. If you have any questions please call the school nurse at 740-493-2881.

Elementary pictures will be taken on September 15th. Packages and pricing are listed below.


This was posted last week but we wanted to get it out there one more time. Pictures for grades 7-12 are Wednesday, September 2nd. Seniors need to dress up for your composite (forever on the wall) picture. Guys, if you don't have a dress shirt and/or tie we have some here.


Just a reminder that high school pictures are on Wednesday, September 2nd. We will take CTC seniors first so they can board the bus ASAP.

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.
