🏈 New Youth Football Program – Grades 3–6 Come learn about the program, ask questions, and see what’s ahead for our Warrior athletes! 📣 Parent Info Meeting 🗓️ April 14, 2025 🕕 6:00 PM 📍 WES Cafeteria

After working on the grounds and high school gymnasium all day, and after consulting with a structural engineer about the high school gym, we are now confident that our school is safe and ready for students. That being said, Westside Consolidated will be in session tomorrow, Friday, 4.4.24. I want to thank everyone for their support of not only our school, but our community. WarriorNation is strong and thriving! Thank you! We will see you tomorrow at normal times.

Due to the timing of the impending severe weather, Westside will be releasing early on Wednesday, April 2, 2025. Buses will be departing the High School at 1:00 pm. Please make sure to adjust your afternoon schedules accordingly. All AfterCare and Athletics will be cancelled as well. Thank you for your understanding as we strive to ensure the safety of all of Warrior Nation!

As you are aware, the national weather service is calling for a strong chance of severe weather tomorrow afternoon. Westside is monitoring these storms carefully for high winds, heavy rains, and possible hail. As the forecast starts to solidify tomorrow, we could possibly see early dismissal as an option as a means to safely get both students and staff home prior to the onset of severe weather. Please keep this in mind when deciding travel options for your students tomorrow. The safety of the Warrior student body and faculty are paramount for our district.
