Welcome Back to School Info
It's time to get started. 2024-2025 Here we come!
Dear Parents/Guardians,
As many of you know the Haysville West newsletter is our main mode of communication with our families. We highlight details on all the current events taking place at HW and additional information about policies, procedures and Haysville Schools in general. Please take time to review the newsletter when sent to help your child be prepared and keep up to date on "What's Happening" at HWMS. You can also check out our website https://www.usd261.com/ and "like" our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/HaysvilleWestMiddleSchool/ for information. As always, you can contact our main office at 316-554-2370 for further information or questions.
You will be receiving more correspondence closer to be the start of school regarding "Open House", the "First Day of School" for your child and fall sports.
Best Regards,
HWMS Administration and Staff

Reminders
Gorilla Athletic Fall Sports
Fall sports try-outs and practices start Monday, August 19th immediately after school. HWMS has football, volleyball, cross country and girls tennis in the fall. All athletes trying out or participating in a fall sport must have a current physical/concussion on file with our main office before they can participate. You can find the required documentation here: https://4.files.edl.io/6f81/12/20/23/233843-d9d5af7a-3a58-41c4-8408-86ce3966d2b2.pdf.
