Western Local School District

Board of Education Meeting 5/13 in the Rich Walls Boardroom @ 5pm.

Junior High Baseball & Softball with have their end of the season pizza party and awards day on May 22nd during school. Parents are invited to the awards part of the day if they would like to come. It will not last long, and you will be able to take your child home afterwards if you would like. Awards start at 2:15 PM in the High School Gym.

We wanted to clarify that there are lots of awards that will be given on Monday night. Our academic banquet is our biggest event of the year and we give out all of our senior awards, all A's all year, high school NHS, Best of the Class in grades 7-11, and all senior scholarships. We don't do those same awards during the underclassmen awards day at school. This was the first time that we've had the school awards day before the academic banquet so we realize that there may have been some confusion, especially with new or junior high parents.

The bus coming back from the eighth grade field trip in Columbus has hit some heavy traffic so they will be back around 6:30 PM. Thank you.

High School/ Junior High Awards Day tomorrow May 10th starting at 9:00 AM in the High School Gym. (Parents welcome) Academic Awards Banquet Monday May 13th starting at 6:00 PM in the High School Gym. ( Invite only)

I apologize for the late notice. Students who live on Leeth Creek and are impacted by the bridge closure can meet Jimmy Cox at Viar Rd and Newland Ridge at 7:15. Evening will be 3:20. If you have questions call me at +1 (740) 222-8311. Thank you.

The baseball game tonight at home is still on. Softball will be at Manchester to play for a sectional title.

High School Cheerleading tryouts have been moved to Friday, May 10th starting at 4pm

We have also canceled the OSHA 30 training in the career center. They will finish it up as scheduled tomorrow.

We are going to have to cancel. Wind damage isn't as bad as I thought. Most of it's been cleaned up but flooding as a concern. Water is already across that red bridge and Bell Hollow. Red bridge is just field water right now but it's flooded all the way up to Latham. Every field is covered so red Ridge will get higher throughout the day. That's the concern so we are going to go ahead and cancel. May be the wrong call and we may not end up having issues with 124 but it's too big of a risk to, start traveling in two hours from now and run into water. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The Junior High Baseball game (7th-8th grade & a few 6th graders) scheduled for this evening against Portsmouth, has been canceled. 05/07/24

Everything we've been talking about and planning is finally materializing! We are currently offering an OSHA 30 course this week and we are having a Basic Computer Skills course for ANY adult in our district who wants to learn some basic computer skills. This course is limited to 10 people but we'll have additional opportunities if this class fills up or the time doesn't work. To sign up just fill out the interest survey attached to this message!

Just a reminder that we are having school on May 7. We inadvertently left that on the calendar because since Covid the primary had been in May and we just forgot to remove it. We will have school as scheduled.

Marvin is running Brandis's late route. First pick up approximately 8 o'clock.

This message is for students to write Brandis's bus. She had to call off this morning and we have not been able to get a sub for her so we're going to have todouble route. The first pick up should be rig ht around 750 but I will confirm that whenever we leave the school for the first pick up. I apologize for the inconvenience and late notice. Thanks.

District Art & Band Show!

Atomic will be bringing pizza tomorrow for any student that makes a deposit on their account. It can be as little as a penny. Thank you!
