6th Grade/New Student Orientation
6th Grade/New Student Orientation
The first half day of school each school year will be just for 6th graders and 7th/8th graders new to West. This will allow students the opportunity to be in the building with a smaller group of students and allow staff and Student Council members to help them learn the ins and outs of West. This day will help ensure incoming students feel more comfortable on their first full day.
Daily Schedule
