🐺A Note From Principal Bangsund
I am so excited to begin welcoming our incoming 9th graders to high school! I know this is an exciting time filled with celebrations, big milestones, and the anticipation of what comes next, and I cannot wait to meet and support each of you throughout your high school journey.
Throughout the summer, students and families can expect to receive communications from me via email in my newsletter, Westy's Family News. Summer updates will be sent during the weeks of June 22nd and July 20th, with weekly newsletters beginning every Friday starting August 7th. These communications will include important dates, back-to-school information, reminders, and updates to help make the transition to high school as smooth and exciting as possible.
Please mark your calendars for these upcoming important dates:
Thursday, August 6th at 5:00 PM: Freshman Ice Cream Social and Information Night. All 9th-grade students and families are highly encouraged to attend this event.
Tuesday, August 11th, from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM: Freshman Orientation. All 9th-grade students are required to attend.
Wednesday, August 12th: First Day of School. Students are expected to be in class and ready to learn by 8:45 AM.
I am looking forward to meeting the Class of 2030 and welcoming you to Westy! Go Wolves!

Go Wolves!!

Here are some good reading resources for our families.

Every child can learn to read - with the right support! Reading challenges are common—and with the right support, kids can thrive. If you have concerns about your child’s reading, talk to their teacher. Together, we can turn the page on reading success! Get more resources: https://www.readlearnleadco.org/resources
