From Dr. Boran
Thank you.  
 
Thank you for sending your beautiful children to West High School. We know you have choices, and we are grateful you chose West. The past three years have been extraordinarily challenging, but we have, collectively as a Regent Community, faced these obstacles and found a way. We found a way through the West Side Collaborative to provide food, housing, rent and other supports for our Regent neighbors in need. We found a way to keep students and staff safe through COVID mitigations, and, for the most part, been mostly successful.
 
Thank you for your support of our teachers and staff. While this is my last physical week at West, I see the challenges of the future and feel compelled to speak out. Friends, we are going to have to find a way to work together to get through these next two-plus years of construction.
 
Consider the fact that construction at West means no parking for at least two years. Consider the two-hour parking restrictions around the school. Is it right to prevent the teachers of your children from parking safely and closely to the school? All West staff have West staff badges in their cars. Why couldn’t only those with West badges be given this opportunity by the Regent community?
 
It’s your choice, of course, but now is the time to rethink this policy in light of what is needed now.  
 
This is our last Regent Reporter for the 2021-22 school year. Thank you for allowing me the privilege of being West’s principal over these past five years. It’s been an honor.

Today was the last full day of school at West for this school year.

Tuesday, June 7th and Wednesday, June 8th are Bridge Days - the primary purpose of Bridge Days is to provide the opportunity for students with D or F grades to revise or re-do key assessments. Students with Ds or Fs in any class are invited to attend Bridge Days in the morning on June 7th and 8th. Ask your teacher about specific assessments to focus on as we finish the semester strong!

There are no classes on Thursday, June 9th or Friday, June 10th.

Free Physicals for Athletes
Any student-athletes that need a physical for the 2022-23 school athletic year - Pivotal Health will be at West on June 7th at noon in the Athletic Training office (room 1182). No guardian is required to be present but should be available via phone.
Another free physical option will be at Cherokee Middle School from July 25th-27th.
Yearbook Distribution
With the impacts of COVID on the school year and supply chain delays, the yearbook will not arrive before the end of the year. 

Due to construction, yearbook distribution will happen at Cherokee Middle School:

June 21st from 9 am to 3:30 pm

Please continue to watch your email for updates related to weather and directions for the day. Because COVID still remains an issue, observe social distancing when picking up your books.

Yearbooks are available for those who purchased one via fees by the end of January. Students and staff wanting to purchase a yearbook can do so on June 21st while supplies last.

Not able to come that day? A parent/guardian can pick up the book for you. You may also stop in at Cherokee after that date to get your book. 

Not sure if you purchased a yearbook? You can look at Infinite Campus in fees. I encourage you to filter by the school year. 
 
Please spread the word about Yearbook Pick-Up and we look forward to seeing you there!
Senior Citizens Meeting
Senior Citizens just a reminder that we meet next Thursday in the Aud from 9 - 11. We will be training and preparing for Freshmen Orientation Day. We need all of you to be there. If for some reason you can't make it you need to let Ms. Pryor or Ms. Harper know in advance.
