Breakfast will still be served in the cafeteria starting at 7:30 a.m. Students do not have to be at school until 8:45 a.m. The tardy bell will ring at 8:50 a.m. and class will begin.
High school students who arrive between 8:00 and 8:30 a.m. must check in to the office to find out where they need to go. Students arriving 8:30 - 8:45 a.m. will need to go to Gathright.
Sometime around 2:40 to 2:50 p.m., First Electric will be shutting off electrical service to repair a transformer. This will affect customers served by the Brownsville substation, which will be most of the West Side School District. Power will be about 5 minutes.

West Side High School is focusing on building a positive school culture this year. We want to recognize students who stand out for their kind, helpful and responsible actions and their positive attitudes. We started our Positive Office Referrals this week as part of this effort.
Gabby Hipp received a Positive Office Referral for being a great help to a young lady who was injured and having to use a walker. Shew carried her backpack for her from class to class with a smile!
Lexi Engle, a new student at West Side, received a Positive Office Referral for having a positive attitude towards others and encouraging them.
Gabriel Milton, another new student, also received a Positive Office Referral for showing respect to others by holding the door open for them each morning.
Great things are happening at WSHS! Be on the lookout for more to come each week.
West Side Picture Day is set for Thursday, Sept. 1. Order forms will be sent home soon. If you wish to order, please send your completed form and payment with your student on Picture Day. Senior sports banner photos will also be taken on that day. Senior athletes will need to have the uniform they wish to be photographed in. Senior make-up portraits and cap/gown pics will be taken at a later time.
Parents, please remember that changes to a student's afternoon transportation should be made no later than 2:30 p.m. This is necessary so that car and bus duty teachers can move students into the correct groups. If you have questions, please contact the office at (501) 825-7744.
A huge thanks to Danielle Schopp and Diandra Verser for all of their help in the media center the first week of school!
Thank you to First Electric for their continued sponsorship of our West Side Anglers fishing team!
