This is a shoot out to our coaches and athletes from last year's sports season. West Harrison was recognized by the Iowa High School Athletic Associations (boys and girls) as one of 182 schools, which is less than half, who had no student-athletes or coaches ejected during the 2020-2021 school year. Good job West Harrison athletes and coaches.
Calendar Reminder:
1: Next week has full days EXCEPT for Friday (9/3). That is a 2:30 Early out due to the upcoming Labor Day weekend.
2: No School Monday, September 6.
3. We will start up the Wednesday 1:30 Early Outs on September 29.
What a great first day!!
A few things we’ve run into:
1: Send a water bottle to school. We will get some ordered for the elementary and wash them at school but until then, send something in so the kids can stay hydrated!
2: Check your email for bus route information!
3: Reminder that we get out at 2:30 ALL WEEK!
