If you missed your chance to pick up a student directory during conferences, there are still plenty available! There will be some available at the front desk, and they will also be available for students to pick up at lunch during the week of Nov. 17 - 21!
Quantities are limited, so we ask that you take only one per family!

West Salem High School parents and community:
Last night at the Crystal Apples award ceremony, Holli Tuss, 2008 graduate was awarded the Guido Caldarazzo scholarship.
We also would like to congratulate Dr. Ike Nail. Dr. Nail has been nominated for the Music Educator of the Year awarded by the Oregon Symphony Association.
We had an outstanding assembly on Monday. We had a Veterans Day assembly and invited a WWII hero to talk about some of his experiences. Our students were very attentive and appreciated hearing what Veterans Day meant to him.
Just a reminder that the Titan Auction is coming up next Saturday (Nov. 22nd). This is going to be an exciting event. I appreciate the efforts of the auction committee to make this such a successful event.
In appreciation,
Ed John

As the fall athletic season comes to an end and the winter sports begin I realize the year is flying by.
We had a great turnout at parent conferences last week. If you have not had a chance to receive your access code to the In-touch program, please stop by the office to sign up for this important tool to stay in touch with school.
Last Saturday our band took first place in their division at the competition in Eugene. The marching band program this year is certainly impressive.
Speaking of impressive, we had a number of Mr. Dey's science research students present at the West Salem Rotary meeting on Monday and they certainly impressed the group. Presenting their projects were: Ian Love, Ashley Wiens, Marisa Cortright, Erin Apodaco, Nicole Marsaglia, Alex Edison, Alex Dennis, Emily Martin and Michelle Lechner.
A special congratulations to our music department. They are a finalist for the Grammy Signature School program.
We have a lot to be proud of at West Salem High School and I appreciate your support.

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

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.
