This past week we held our NJHS Induction Ceremony and welcomed new members to our group! Our NJHS adviser, Mrs. Certta-Rholwing is excited to be working with this exceptional group of 7th and 8th graders. We look forward to the impact that they will make this year at our school and in our community!

Looking for a flexible job? Becoming a Certified Substitute is the answer! West Wing is in need of additional substitute teachers to fill in when our teachers are out sick or out for professional development. Please consider signing up to help at your child's school. We love having parents as subs and we would love to have you join us this school year! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Mrs. Shaunna Owsley, our school secretary. She is happy to answer any questions you may have or help you with the process.

We hope you consider this amazing opportunity to impact your child's school! Thank you!

Our Governing Board unanimously approved to seek voter authorization of a continuation of the existing override and funding for Student Safety.

This election will help preserve current fine arts and athletic programs such as art, general and instrumental music, and physical education, as well as maintain class sizes. The funds will also be used to attract and retain highly qualified teachers and support staff.

The total cost of the override for homeowners is a continuation of $21.27 per month property tax on the average assessed home value.

Your taxes will NOT increase as a result of passage of this override.

Funding for Student Safety Special Bond Election

• Safety & Security
• Instructional Resources
• Instructioanl Technology
• Building renewal
• Conservation
• Buses and student growth

This funding is being structured to NOT INCREASE the projected tax levy.
