The basketball games at Concord for Tuesday 1/26 have been postponed. The new date will be shared once determined.
West Side School would like to thank our school board for their hard work and dedication to our school, students, and community. Current Board members are Junior Fife, Nikki Cothren, Jacob Smith, Dan Knapp, and (not pictured) Larry Rooks.
Testing for Grades 7-11 was disrupted this morning due to Internet connectivity problems caused by lightning. Students will need to arrive both Tuesday and Wednesday morning with a fully charged Chromebook and charger. Virtual Grade 7-11 students who have at least one on-campus course will also test those two mornings.
Seniors who have on-campus courses do not need to arrive until 5th Period on Tuesday due to testing of underclassmen during Periods 1-4. Seniors may, however, use the Distance Learning lab for remote courses.
