West Salem High School Parents:

Summer is about over and I am certainly looking forward to an exciting year. I think this year is going to be our best year yet.

We were able to hire some exceptional staff members over the summer. We are excited about what this year will bring and anxious to get started.

As you know, Taking Care of Business days are August 19th and 20th. It is important for all students to take advantage of this opportunity to get their schedule, get their ID card, pay fees, get your locker, etc. I would like to encourage you to purchase the ASB card - it is money well spent and a great value. In addition to entrance to games and dances, it provides a discount on the yearbook and prom tickets.

Students will pick up their draft schedule on the Taking Care of Business day. If you see a problem with the schedule, please have your student stop by and see the counselors August 27, 28 or 31 to resolve the problem. That way, they have a good schedule for the first day of school.

You may not know that we have a home football game with South Medford on Friday, September 4th prior to school opening. Please join us as we kickoff the fall season.

In appreciation,

Ed John
Principal
