SNOW DAY for Thursday, Jan. 9th

Dear Western Heights Parents and Students, Happy New Year and welcome to the second semester of the school year! We invite all teachers back to work tomorrow for a Teacher Work Day. Students start back to school on Tuesday, January 7th. We're thrilled to have our students, teachers, and staff back in action, energized and ready to learn and grow together! This is always such an exciting time of year. Learning is in high gear and teachers and students are equally focused on making progress. Please make sure your child is present every day possible. Although we know that sickness likes to grab us when we are stuck indoors, we need the students at school anytime they are not running a fever or exhibiting excessive symptoms. Speaking of the weather...we also know this time of the year, weather plays into our schedule, so please stay weather aware and look for our communication on those days when travel may be an issue. Local media, social media, our website, and a message will be sent from the district to the phone number or email listed on your students enrollment information. As we dive into this semester, I want to highlight an important event coming up—the bond election on February 11th. This bond has the potential to greatly enhance our schools, addressing critical needs such as facility updates, classroom resources, and improved safety measures. It’s an exciting opportunity to invest in the future of our students and our community. To ensure everyone is informed, please visit https://bond-facts.com/2025WesternHeightsBond/ for detailed information about the bond proposal. It includes a breakdown of what’s included and how it will benefit our district. Your voice matters, and we encourage all eligible voters to participate in this decision that directly impacts our schools. Together, we can create an even stronger foundation for learning and success. Thank you for your continued support and dedication to our students. Here’s to an amazing second semester filled with achievement, collaboration, and community pride! If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out. Let’s make it a great semester! 😊 Dr. Brayden Savage

Take a sneak peek at the exciting projects we have planned! This bond will help us invest in our student’s future with new learning spaces and upgraded facilities. ‘#JetsUnite, Soaring to Excellence’ means creating spaces that will allow our students, staff and community to thrive together.

MS Bus 2 & 10 were combined today. This bus was involved in a minor fender-bender with no injuries and will be delayed in dropping students at home. This will also delay CG Bus 2 departure and drop-off. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
