TigerScot Times - Back-to-School
Weston-McEwen High School Information to Know
Principal's Message
TigerScots, it is almost time to be back in the classroom! Please come prepared with a binder, notebooks, and pencils - having your materials on Day One will set the tone for the rest of the year. If you need school supplies, please contact our office. I encourage families to review the Student Handbook before the first day. Enjoy Labor Day weekend and we will see you on Tuesday.
Phone-Free Classrooms Reminder
Phones, wireless earbuds, smartwatches, and other smart devices may not be out during class time, including restroom breaks taken outside of passing periods. They may be kept in students’ lockers, backpacks, cars, or at home.
Guardians who need to contact their student during the school day may do so by calling the main office number: (541) 566-3555. If the student needs to contact their guardian during the school day, a phone will be available in the main office.
If a student has their device out during class, they need to turn it into the teacher’s phone holder or to the office. If they do not want to relinquish a device, then please do not have it out or as a distraction.
