West Las Vegas School District

Join us on August 30, 2024 at West Las Vegas High School for a special event supporting students and families as they prepare for the new school year. The Food Depot will be providing healthy groceries to ensure our community's children start the year off right! This event will take place from 9:30 am to 11:00 am at WLV High School.

The thought of any gas leak poses a danger to everyone, and the WLVS District takes any potential danger very seriously. However, the last three incidents at WLVHS were NOT gas leaks. These incidents resulted in the need to make emergency calls, creating a false alarm, violating security procedures, carrying out a planned attack, including causing harm to others. All of which are potentially a form of school terrorism. Should any student have an item that emits a substance that affects the health and safety of students and staff, they will be held to the highest degree of discipline, and charges will be filed with authorities. We appreciate your cooperation in maintaining a safe and healthy educational environment.

Dear Dons Families: I hope this message find you well. I am writing to inform about the recent incident regarding a potential gas leak at our school. Fire department and Gas company have conducted a thorough investigation, and I am pleased to report that there was no gas leak detected. We have received and all clear to continue with our educational setting in a safe manner. We appreciate you understanding and support. Students will report to class at 1:15 after lunch and report to their sixth period.

Good morning. We want to communicate that West Las Vegas High School will be evacuating briefly to inspect for a possible gas leak. This evacuation will conducted like a regular fire drill. Student and staff safety is of utmost importance! Thank you for your patience.

Good Afternoon Dons Families: This notice serves to remind you that we can only have a licensed driver parking on campus. We have many Freshman with no license or students with a permit. Keep in mind that according to the NM Motor Vehicle Division, a student with a permit must have a licensed adult in the vehicle with them. Students with a provisional license or a regular driver's license are allowed and should have secured a parking permit. Students were informed they will not be allowed to drive and park unless they have the proper licensure. Bus transportation is available to students.

West Las Vegas High School Families. Our drill was a success and a check was completed. There were no signs of any leakage of gas or odor detected. I wholeheartedly thank you for your patience and understanding. Our students and staff are valuable to us and we want to ensure they have an environment that is healthy for instruction.

Dear Families: We are committed to ensuring the safety and security of all our staff and students on campus. Our school district has purchased a metal detector. We will be conducting a test at West Las Vegas High School tomorrow. All students will walk through the detector as they enter campus. This is simply a test to familiarize ourselves with the equipment and determine precisely how each detection level works. Please don't worry- we will ensure this process runs smoothly so students can get to class without disruption. We appreciate your support and understanding as we take these critical steps to maintain a safe learning environment. Thank you for your continued support and cooperation. It's Always A Great Day To Be A Don!

We look forward to seeing all your beautiful faces on campus tomorrow. A couple of things to remember is to follow parking and drop-off protocols. Remember that student drop-off is alongside the gymnasium and not in front of the school. Signage will be available to navigate you. At the end of the day, we ask that if you pick up a student, you avoid parking between the high school and the old middle school gym. Parking there creates a hazard for our buses. Students who have not purchased a parking pass will have this week to purchase one. Students without a pass will be asked to park in an un-numbered spot for now. Students who purchased a pass will need to show the pass on their windshield. Students who purchased a pass may come into the office to swap out their temporary pass and secure their official parking badge. Thank you all so much. It's always a great day to be a Don. This year is going to be amazing. We want to take this opportunity to encourage regular attendance. Try joining our NBA All-Stars team (Never Been Absent). If you need to be absent due to appointments or illness this school year, we would love for you to "Strive For Less Than 5"

Good Afternoon, Dons Families and Alumni. Our wonderful city of Las Vegas has faced unprecedented challenges in recent years due to COVID-19, Wildfires, and, more recently, our water issues. Many of our businesses have been impacted and have had to close. West Las Vegas High School cares about our community, and we are asking for your help. We are excited to announce the launch of our online store, where you can purchase an item. Our store's funds will help our freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior classes buy items for their homecoming float designs without going into our community to solicit from our fantastic business. Our online store is an excellent opportunity to show your Dons Pride. Please consider purchasing an item. The additional $1.00 gets the item shipped to us. Shipment should arrive around Sept 25. Our store will close on August 16th @ noon. Store Link: https://gogandy.com/wlvhs-sp24
