West Salem Parents:
Congratulations to our band for their first place finish at the PCI last week. Also I would like to recognize our four Commended Scholars: Claire Coba, Kyle Lenz, Krystle Miller and Marika Straw.
Please remember various music concerts coming up next week and parent conferences coming up October 29th and 30th. At the parent conferences, you will be able to receive an access code for the In-touch program that will allow you to access grades and attendance.
If you have a college bound student in your near future, please take a look at the website: collegeboard.com
Next Wednesday we are honoring 356 students that are on the honor roll for their report cards from second semester last year.
Thank you for your continued support.
Ed John
Principal

West Salem High School parents and community members:
Last Friday was certainly a highlight as we had State Superintendent Susan Castillo here to present our science teacher, Michael Lampert with the Oregon Teacher of the year award. This was not only an honor for Mr. Lampert, it was an honor for West Salem High School.
Parent conferences are coming soon. The parent conference schedule will be sent to you in the near future. The two days are Wednesday evening, October 29th and all day Thursday, October 30th. At that event we will have someone there that will help you receive your password for the new In-Touch system that will allow you access to grades and attendance.
The School-Talk Summit is Wednesday, October 22nd at 6:00pm at McKay. Parents are encouraged to attend this meeting to hear the superintendent talk about issues in the school district.
Sincerely,
Ed John

West Salem High School parents and community:
In the next few days you should receive our school newsletter. Please note the calendar of events. Parent conferences are coming soon and we have a number of music concerts in October.
I have attached a flier for the School-Talk Summit (PDF) that will take place at McKay High School at 7:00pm on October 22nd. Parents are invited to attend this informative meeting that will be hosted by superintendent Sandy Husk.
Several of us attended the Oregon TAG conference in Portland on Saturday. We received some important information and picked up some great ideas to incorporate.
This is our seventh year and I feel it is our best year yet. I think we are off to a great start and good things are happening.
It is my pleasure to work with such a supportive community.
If you have any questions or concerns. Please feel free to contact me.

West Salem High School parents / community:
We have started week four and things are rolling along smoothly. All of our athletic teams are doing well. Congratulations to Brett Smith, he was selected as the Oregonian athletic of the Week. We are proud of the fact that our band was selected to be a part of the dedication ceremonies this Friday at Riverfront park for the Tom McCall statue.
In addition to our two National Merit Semi-finalists (Alex Dennis and Sally Moyer) we received word that we have three Commended Scholars: Kyle Lenz, Krystle Miller and Marika Straw.
If you are interested in being a member of our school site council, we need a couple more parents. Please let me know if you are interested or need more information.
In appreciation,
Ed John

We are off to a great start. Our enrollment is up this year to 1,705. That is about 85 more than last year. Don't be surprised if we are looking for a portable next year.
We are proud to recognize our two National Merit Semi-finalists: Sally Moyer and Alex Dennis.
Our athletic teams and our music programs are in full swing. I am looking forward to great things from both of those programs this year.
We have a freshman parent night scheduled for Monday, Sept. 29th. If you have a freshman, I encourage you to attend that meeting.
If you need the email address of our staff members, please stop by the office to pick up a list. We want to have good communication with parents.
