West Salem parents and community:

This has been an exciting start of the academic year. Our music programs are in full swing, the athletic teams are doing well and our students are settling into their classes. Our enrollment is up to 1,700 this year and we have added a double-wide portable.

Teachers completed report cards today. You should have them in the mail within the next two weeks. Parent conferences are scheduled for November 23rd and 24th. Please make a point to attend this opportunity to meet with teachers.

This Wednesday we are honoring 383 students for being on the honor roll for their work second semester last year. We are proud of our students and appreciate their hard work.

Congratulations to Shawn Stanley, Linda Pooleon and Brenda Hauswirth for being nominated for the Crystal Apple Award. The awards ceremony is November 12th.

Our student council is working on a project to raise awareness on the important topic of bullying and harassment. I appreciate their help with this important issue.

The Titan Auction is Saturday, November 12st. Please plan to attend this event that supports student programs at West Salem High School.

Thank you for your continued support.

In appreciation,

Ed John
Principal
