Reminder tomorrow, Thursday, September 26 is fall picture day for students in preschool through sixth grade.
We will be conducting our annual required school safety drill tomorrow beginning at 12 o’clock. We plan to have all students on ready to head out by one. Please be aware that the entrances to the school will be closed off starting at 12 o’clock and will not be re-openEd until the drill is over so anyone needing to pick up a student must be in and out before 12 o’clock. The goal is to prepare our students not to scare them but we will be conducting the drill in the same manner as if there were a real emergency however we will not be attending to scare the students but procedurally we will do it the same way. We will be explaining to your students in the morning that this is only a drill so we will not scare them but we do want to encourage you to talk to your student tonight about the importance of safety drills.
I apologize for the late notice but we will have to double route for bus 15 in the morning. The first pick up should be approximately 745 or 750
Reminder tomorrow is the first day of the student run credit union.

Newspaper

Any student in kindergarten that has not had their required immunizations for school will need to get the immunizations and turn in proof to the school before September 4, 2019. Letters were sent home in book bags last week with students who still need to get the immunizations. If the student’s immunization record is not up-to-date, or we have not received written proof of your child receiving the vaccine, you will be in violation of Ohio law, and it will become necessary to exclude this student from school until we receive the updated information. This absence will be unexcused. If you have any questions please contact Holly Tackett, school nurse, at 740-493-2831.
Thank you.

This is a reminder for the first day of school! We have a new bell schedule at the high school and junior high. Students need to be in the building by 745 for breakfast.

Revised Football Schedule

Please disregard the jumbled up grammar in the text message. I was using voice to text and the voice to text lady just couldn’t quite keep up!!! It is much better on the Facebook post
And he stated he plans to play football this year and has not contacted Coach Reese needs to contact him today either through the Western Indians Football Facebook page or by contacting him directly at 740-771-6955. We have to have an accurate number of players and we can’t just banking on the kids showing up when school starts because there are rules about number of days of conditioning before full practice. If you plan to play football in grades seven through 12 this year you must contact Coach Reese today either directly or through Facebook. We will assume anyone he does not contact him today is not planning to play and we will base our numbers on that.
The community Back-to-school bash will be held Thursday, Aug.8th from 6-8:00 in the elementary cafeteria.
We will have free school supplies, personal hygiene packs, and free hair cuts for Western students.
