Western Local School District

Ayesha bus 19 is just waiting for a tree to be moved then she will be heading out. All kids are fine.

Brandis is running her route backwards. She's running late but on her way

Brandis is on her way.

We realize there are some trees causing some problems now. I've been in contact with the county garage and they have all of them on the list and are working on getting everything cleared out now. Anyone who wants to come and get their kids obviously is welcome to, I'm sure there will be situations where we have to wait for a few minutes for things to get cleared before the buses can move on through all the roads, but we will be in contact with the county garage to make sure they know where all of them are.

David is moving now. He will be running about 25 minutes later than normal.

This message is for David's bus. He is stuck at a tree and powerline and unable to get through. He's going to turn around as soon as the rain stops so as soon as he's back on the road, I will send another message.

I know that you've gotten several messages about the Rooms app. Rooms is the official way we communicate with parents. You can use Rooms and the Western apps to keep updated on everything going on at school. You have to download the Western app and then you can download rooms. Everyone who hasn't downloaded the Western app and the Rooms app will be getting a text message tomorrow evening. Please click the link and follow the simple instructions. If anyone has trouble with anything please let me know and we'll get it resolved. I'm adding a screenshot of the Rooms informational page from our website, also.

Senior pictures for the composite (on the wall) will be October 11th. Please see attachment for information.

Mark your calendars! Junior High & High School Fall school pictures will be on October 11th . Pictures forms are available in the High School office.

This message is for Steve Reno's bus 20. They are doing some utility work on that route so some students may be arriving home a little later than normal.
