Due to the increased spread of COVID cases in our area and the potential exposure during the Thanksgiving Holiday, Western Local Schools will be extending Thanksgiving Break through the week of December 1-4. We were already scheduled off on Monday and Friday of that week. Students will be off Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of that week also. These will be considered blended learning days and will function like our blended learning Fridays.
There will be a Boosters meeting tonight, Tues. Nov 10th in the high school cafeteria. This if for any parent (of any age student) who is interested in being part of the sports boosters club. Social distancing will be in place. Masks must be worn.
Senior FASFA workshop appointments with Mrs. Schuler are still on this evening.
Tomorrow, Tuesday, Nov. 10th students will be dismissed at 12:00 for Parent Teacher Conferences.
Conferences will be held from 1:00-8:00 and will be by phone or virtually. There will no in person conferences (parents coming to school) as originally planned.
If you were scheduled to come in, the teacher will call you at your scheduled time.
If you did not make an appointment and would like to speak to your child’s teacher, you may call the school between the hours of 1-7:45. Please note you may have to leave a message for the teacher and they will return the call between scheduled appointments.
