Parents and guardians, we invite you to join us for Parent-Teacher Conferences on Thursday, October 23rd, from 3:00–6:00 PM at West Union High School.
This is a great opportunity to connect with teachers, discuss your student’s progress, and partner together for a successful school year! 🏫✨
📞 Please call the office secretary to schedule your appointment.
✨ Attendance Matters – And So Do You! ✨
Every day in school makes a difference. Did you know?
📌 A student is considered chronically absent if they miss 10% or more of the school year – that’s just 2 days a month. Even excused absences add up and can impact learning.
🍂 October is the perfect time for a fresh start! Let’s make this month our strongest one yet for attendance. Building good habits now helps students finish the semester strong.
💡 What families can do:
✔️ Make school attendance a priority – remember our district motto: Strive for 5: Every Day Counts! (Miss no more than 5 days all year).
✔️ Send a written parent/guardian note whenever your child is absent so we can keep records accurate and provide support.
✔️ Reach out if challenges come up – we are here to help.
When your student is here, they are learning, growing, and building their future. Let’s work together, because Every Day Counts! 🌟

Today, we are honored to recognize our very first 2025-2026 Junior High and High School Students of the Month. These students have shown us that success isn’t just about grades. It's about kindness, determination, and the way you lift others up along the way.
This recognition is more than a certificate. It’s a celebration of the quiet moments of effort, the extra mile walked when no one is watching, and the courage it takes to lead with character. Each of these students represents the heart of what it means to be a Dragon, and we couldn’t be prouder.
Congratulations to:
Jase Widdig (7th)
Kyra Storer (8th)
Lexi Taylor (9th)
Stella Rhonemus (10th)
Michael Skinner (11th)
Paige Tolle (12th)
You’ve inspired us all, and we can’t wait to see what more you’ll accomplish. Keep shining, keep striving, and always remember: Go, Dragons! ✨
