πΊ A Summer Update from Principal Bangsund
Good afternoon Westy Families and Students!
I hope you're enjoying a wonderful summer filled with time to relax, recharge, and make great memories with the people who matter most.
While summer is still in full swing, our team is already hard at work preparing for another incredible year at Westminster High School. We can't wait to welcome our students back and continue building on the momentum from last year. There is so much to look forward to, and we're excited for all the opportunities the new school year will bring.
In this edition of the newsletter, you'll find important information about summer athletics, fall sports registration, and a few key dates to mark on your calendarβespecially for our incoming freshmen and their families. Be sure to save the date for our 9th Grade Student & Family Ice Cream Social and Information Night and Freshman Orientation Day, which is mandatory for all incoming 9th-grade students. These events are designed to help our newest Wolves feel welcomed, connected, and ready for a successful start to high school.
I'll send one more summer update during the week of July 20th with additional back-to-school information and reminders. Until then, I hope you continue enjoying everything summer has to offer.
Have a fantastic rest of your summer, and thank you for being part of the Westminster High School family. We look forward to seeing everyone back on campus very soon!
With Westy Pride,
Proud Principal πΊ
Westminster High School
π£GO WOLVES!
