Middle/High School - December

Middle and High School Families,

The month of November has concluded with numerous successful undertakings that showcased the dedication and talents of our students and school community. The support that you have shown for our students is wonderful and very much so appreciated.

We were particularly proud of the outstanding performance of our student production of Mamma Mia! The commitment exhibited by the cast, crew, and the entire staff of directors resulted in an exceptional display of artistic excellence in the set and student talent throughout every part. I must say that I certainly admire the dedication shown by all in crafting such a wonderful event.

Beyond this, I would also like to highlight our annual Veterans Day celebration. It was a deeply moving and meaningful event. We were privileged to host many local veterans and their families, and our students demonstrated immense respect and gratitude. The band and choir performances were incredible. Thank you to everyone who helped us honor the courageous men and women who have served our country!

November also marks the transition into our winter athletics season. Our student-athletes are hard at work, putting in commitment to bettering themselves each day. We encourage all members of our community to support our student-athletes as they begin their competitions, demonstrating their work ethic and sportsmanship.

Here are some of the highlights to review as well as a few additional events:

They learned about common sports injuries and the physiology and anatomical relationships of the musculoskeletal system. Thank you Mrs. Fritz and Mr. Homan!

We are kicking off December with a commitment to our community through our annual "Bowls for Hunger" charity event. This fantastic initiative supports local food banks and teaches our students the importance of empathy and service. We hope to see you on the evening of December 1st for this event!

As we head into December, please recognize that the midway point of our second quarter is already here on the 10th!

This is an excellent time for a check-in. Please talk with your students about their academics and encourage them to talk with teachers, review process, and make a plan for the rest of the quarter.

You may receive communication from teachers, though feel free to reach out to us with any questions that you may have about the gradebook!

Our district receives funding each year to help support our Career & Technical Education (CTE) programs like Technology Education, Agricultural, Business Education, and Family and Consumer Science classes. We are conducting a needs assessment on our local programs and would like your feedback!

Please respond only if you have a student in high school!

Thank you for your feedback!

To streamline our attendance processes in the Middle/High School, we have opened up a new line of communication for school absences. Please feel free to click on the link on our website or email the office at:

whsattendance@westfieldpioneers.org

When you send an email, please mention your student's name, grade, and the reason for the absence. This is checked daily and works as a further way for you to communicate with us on your student's attendance! (Our phone line still works - this is just an additional path that may be more convenient for some!)
