Thank you to everyone who donated pies and ice cream for our school families to enjoy today.

We hope everyone has a relaxing Thanksgiving Break. When we come back we will have just 3 weeks left for the 1st semester!

On Monday November 25th we will have a home girls basketball game against Riley County. Our 8th grade girls and their 8th grade girls are undefeated so we know this will be a good game. We would love to have our stands full of Jeff West Fans! Games will start at 4:30 with 8th grade A team, followed by 7th grade A team and the Combo B team!

Last day to order JW Gear from the Booster Club is Sunday November 24th. The link is below!

During our late start day last week, students began exploring potential career paths through Xello, our career exploration program. This is a great opportunity for them to reflect on their interests and start thinking about their future goals.

We encourage you to sit down with your child and talk about their Xello profile —what they learned during the process and any new career ideas that sparked their interest. We will continue to explore career options and develop individual plans of study throughout the year, helping students begin the process of making informed decisions about their future.

Additionally, if you haven't yet signed up to participate in our Career Fair on January 17, and you’re interested in sharing about your career path, please fill out this form: Career Fair Sign-Up.

We wish you all a relaxing and enjoyable fall break!

When we return from break we will have our Scholastic Book Fair.
