* Thank you for keeping the Bus-Only entrance/exit clear of cars.  While it may not look full, it is important that we keep the bus drop-off and pick-up driveway strictly for busses only before and after school.

* As the mornings grow darker, please heighten your awareness of pedestrians.  We have crossing guards, but some students continue to dart through traffic.

* If you have an 8th grader, counselors ask that you schedule a PCCR before Winter Break.  PCCR's are intended to help you and your student prepare for high school graduation and consider possible college and career pathways. Counselors have scheduled two evenings this week to accommodate working parents.

* You will CERTAINLY want to attend the Army Band concert on Thursday.  It is a significant honor for West Hills to have the privilege of playing with such a highly trained and recognized band.  The concert is FREE and begins at 7pm in the WHMS auditorium.  Seating is first-come, first-served.army band poster 2018.pdf   See attached flyer.
