The Junior High Track Meet on Tuesday, May 9th in Woodbine will be charging gate fee of $3 adults / $2 students for entry. This will be in place for all future JH events in the RVC conference. This is to keep up with rising costs of doing business. Thanks for understanding!
The K-6 Elementary Track and Field Day scheduled for tomorrow, May 5th has been moved to Monday, May 8th due to the weather forecast. Thanks for understanding!
A few more announcements:
Sophomore parents and students, please make sure to check your email for details about our summer post-prom fundraiser that begins May 15.
The RVC conference has begun charging for Junior High competitions. We will begin this process with our Junior High Track Meet on Thursday, May 4 in Mondamin. We will charge $3 adults and $2 students for all Junior High events from this event on into all future events. This was put in place to keep up with rising costs of doing business. The RVC Junior High Meet in Woodbine will also be having this policy in place on May 9. Thanks for understanding!
Clarification on Brat Fundraiser for West Harrison Athletics/Activities:
Students MUST turn in forms by Friday, May 5th to put in their orders. We will order with the company on this afternoon so any orders not in by 3:30 on Friday WITH the money collected will not be ordered. Students will pick up their orders around 3pm on May 25th and will deliver them to all they have sold to. Please plan on the brats getting into a freezer by 5:30pm that evening to be safe. If your child has a large order please pick them up at 3:30 to load in your car. Please don't send your kids home on the bus with brat orders! If you are expecting an order, see the student who sold them to you for pick up! There will not be a mass pick up for everyone at the school as there would be too many people to support. Thanks for following these guidelines and contact Troy Maasen at the school with questions/concerns. Thanks for all the support with this!
This morning the school was made aware that an incident occurred in Mondamin. We were in contact with Harrison County Law Enforcement as soon as we were made aware of the incident. Harrison County Law Enforcement advised that there is no immediate threat at this time. As always, it is our priority to keep students and staff safe and our community updated in situations like this.
