Good morning!
We have received word from Logan Armstrong that they have enough donated items to get started in a new home after their recent fire. We will only be accepting monetary donations moving forward.
The other three West Harrison alumni are still needing items. Here is the list we have:
Men’s Jeans Sizes 36/30, 32/34, 38/32 and 38/34.
Men’s Shirts Sizes Large and XL.
Men’s Sweatshirts Sizes L and XL
If you have new or gently used clothing in these sizes, please drop it off at the school.
Thank you for your support!
Hawkeye families,
Please take a moment to review our updated guidance for COVID isolation and quarantine of our staff and students. In a nutshell, we will still isoloate those who test (or are assumed) positive for COVID and have strong recommendations for those with direct exposure.
Masks are still not required, but a student or staff member can shorten the duration of their isolation/quarantine by choosing to wear a mask upon their return to school.

West Harrison Families and Staff,
Our school district recently learned of an anonymous, nationwide threat against schools that is being shared on social media outlets such as TikTok. The general threat toward all U.S. schools declares Friday, Dec. 17, as “American School Shooting Day.” The posts warn about the possibility of nationwide shootings or bomb threats associated with this day.
We have partnered with local law enforcement to vigilantly investigate whether there are any local connections to these social media posts. At this time, law enforcement has not acquired any evidence that would deem these threats as credible in our area. Out of an abundance of caution, our schools will be in close contact with law enforcement throughout the day on Friday and law enforcement will have an increased presence at the school.
Please take this opportunity to talk with your students about the appropriate use of social media, and the seriousness and resulting consequences of making any kind of threat. Encourage your students to speak with you or an adult at school if they see or hear something so immediate action can be taken. In addition, if anyone in our community sees something suspicious, please report it to the school immediately or call local law enforcement.
Thank you for your understanding and assistance.
Sincerely,
Marty Fonley
