West Salem High School parents:

We are off to a great start with nearly 1,700 students. I am certainly proud of our students. Our athletic programs are doing well, our music programs are doing well and academically I believe this is going to be an amazing year. October 21st we will honor 383 students that are on the honor roll because of second semester grades last year.

Today in 3rd period class we are giving students a flyer to bring home regarding H1N1 safety tips. You might ask your student to retrieve it from their backpack.

The superintendent is having her annual School Talk Summit at McNary High School on Tuesday, October 21st at 7:00pm in the auditorium. You are encouraged to attend this important event.

I know this is early, but I wanted to remind parents that the two days of parent conferences are November 23 and 24.

This year we are having our monthly PTO meetings at 2:45 rather than in the evenings. Our next meeting is Tuesday, October 6th in the Titan Room. Parents are welcome to attend.

Our newsletter is coming out in a couple weeks. It will have some important information as well as a calendar of events.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Ed John
Principal
