West Salem High School Parents:

Final exams start tomorrow. Finals are: Wed-1,3,5 / Thur-2,4,6 / Fri- 7,8.

Today students received their second semester schedule during 3rd period class. If you student does not have a schedule, have them stop by the Guidance Center for a copy. Please review the schedule with your student and see the counselor within the first two weeks of the second semester if you feel the schedule needs to be changed.

The Drama Department is proud to present Pippin Feb. 6, 7, 13, 14. You may purchase tickets to the play from the bookkeeper.

After much thought, consideration and input from various groups, it looks like we will continue with the same bell schedule next year. Even though the all-meet Monday can be hectic, we felt it was important to have a schedule that allows teachers to see students three times a week.

Thank you for your continued support.

In appreciation,


Ed John
Principal

West Salem High School parents and community:

It is good to be back at school, I think the students like getting back in a routine again.
I wanted to share with you some changes due to the snow days:
a) Finals week will be pushed back a week. We will probably have finals Jan. 28th, 29th and 30th. We will make a final decision in a couple days after we get input from various groups.
b) Friday, January 23rd will remain an in-service day.
c) We will probably make-up three of the five snow days in June.
d) Graduation day will not change.
We are still looking at options to our bell schedule. The staff is giving their input and we will continue to discuss options at the site council. If you would like to share your thoughts, please give me a call.

In appreciation,

Ed John
