Attention West Las Vegas High School and family partnership students who have purchased a parking pass. You can now pick up your 24-25 parking badge from the front office. Please take care of this before, after, or during lunch to be on time for class. Students who signed up for a locker may stop by the front office before, during lunch, or after school to receive your locker assignment and combinations. LUNCH MENU FOR TOMORROW: Frito Pie, Chili con Carne, Corn Bread, Garnish, Fruit and Choice of Milk. If you are staying on campus, we encourage you to try our wonderful lunches that are free to all students.

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!

Parents at Luis E. Armijo Elementary please stay behind the lines for parent pick up. Please stay towards the fence. This is to keep all kids safe and counted for by their teacher. Please give teachers time to release your child to you. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Tony Serna Jr. Elementary- Shelter in Place has been lifted. All kids are safe. Thank you for your cooperation.

Tony Serna Jr. Elementary is currently on a Shelter-in-Place protocol due to police activity. ALL KIDS ARE SAFE! We will inform you when the Shelter-in-Place has been lifted. Again, all kids are safe.

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

Good Afternoon. We hope this message finds all of you having a wonderful afternoon. Please remember our Parent Orientation from 5:30 to 6:30 tonight on our WLVHS Football field. (Frank Herrera Complex) (Frank Herrera Complex) the original message indicated the gymnasium; however, the gym floor is being resurfaced. We are excited and eagerly await your presence. This is an essential communication between home and school. Let's start this school year by building a partnership and promoting a positive learning environment for our students. It is always a great day to be a donor. Don.

Please review the updated dress code for the 24-25 school year. As the first day of school is approaching, we want to ensure our students know what is permitted.

Message from Mrs Mandy & Mr Soto: Chromebook (School issued) – Please make sure it is charged every day. Chromebook Charger (School issued, but if lost, student is responsible for replacing. You can order online or purchase through the WLV School District for $35.) – Must bring every day. Notebook – Students will be required to take notes for all classes on FlexPoint. Writing Utensil – Pen, pencil (with eraser), etc. Headphones or earbuds – Must be able to pair with Chromebook if wireless. Refillable water bottle – Water dispensers are available throughout campus. Bottles of water will not be provided this year (and our vending machine is not always filled.) Phone Charger/Block – If students bring their phone, they will be asked to place it in a designated area during class time. They will be allowed to charge it at this location, but not at their desk so they will need a phone block. **Note to Parents** We plan on having a great year with your kids and have just a few “housekeeping” items to let you know about. Attendance is mandatory and will be closely monitored. All students are required to attend for the full scheduled school day, regardless of work schedules, etc. Students should come to school well rested and ready to work on their classes. We have a new online learning platform this year, so it is vital that your child attends every day to assist in this learning transition. Dress code will be enforced so please make sure your child is dressed appropriately. Since there will be a limitation on phone use, we ask that you encourage your child to only call you during a passing period or at lunch. If you need to get a hold of them in an emergency and they do not have their phone, please contact their teacher or the Secretary. Students are not allowed to receive phone calls during class time and should not make phone calls during this time either so please make lunch plans, etc. before school. We hope to have incentive field trips throughout the school year. Eligibility to attend will be based on attendance, performance, participation in fundraisers, etc. I don’t want anyone to miss out so please encourage them to do their best. We look forward to a great school year that will be fun and productive! Please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns. Teachers – Mrs. Amanda Ortiz and Mr. Stuart Soto

Any student enrolled in a dual-credit enrollment course at Luna Community College is encouraged to attend one of their Open House Days. Fully immerse yourself in the opportunities available to you. Go, Dons!
