Our District, like many across the country, was impacted by last month's TikTok challenge that encouraged students to steal school items and supplies. On October 14, Dr. Stoltz emailed families to ask for their help in deterring participation in future social media challenges. His message also outlined procedural changes for home football games which will begin Friday, October 15, as a result of inappropriate behavior by students at the West Shore Stadium.

On Thursday, December 9, 2021, the West Shore School District will hold its annual Middle School Career Awareness Fair for eighth grade students. As students start to think about high school and their future after graduation, it is important for them to be exposed to different career possibilities. The fair provides students the opportunity to learn about a variety of careers and speak to individuals working in them.  We are currently looking for volunteers to speak at the Career Fair.

All West Shore families are welcome to join members of the Special Education Department for this parent information session. During the evening, staff will provide an overview of the programs offered in our District and will answer parent questions related to special education services. 

Throughout the 2021-2022 school year, Dr. Stoltz will be sharing messages and important community updates with West Shore students, staff, and families. Click the More + button to view.
