Please see the attached flyers regarding Girls and Boys State 2025! You can also see program information at https://register.legion.org/boysnation/stateeligibility and https://www.idgirlsstate.org/. Please contact Mr. Gemar for more information!
16 students went to BYUI today to take the Spanish CLEP Exam for University credits. The exam is paid for with Advanced Opportunity funding and costs $95. Students could earn 6 or 9 University credits which means there was $2,000 - $3,000 saved depending on how many credits were earned! 5 students took the Spanish with writing exam and an update will be made when those scores are received. Well done, students!

Weekly Athletic Schedule - Jan. 20-25, 2025
Delay Start - Mon. Jan. 20, 2025
If temperatures do not rise, this delay start may be upgraded to a closure.
EDITED TO ADD: A.M. Preschool is cancelled. A.M. Kindergarten will still be held for 1 1/2 hours. If A.M. Kindergarten parents choose to keep their student home instead of them coming in for the shortened day, that is fine. Mrs. Erickson just wants those kids to have the opportunity to come in if they can.
If you did not receive the notification of this delay on your cell phone text and/or email, please contact IT Supervisor Jon Reyna to make sure you get signed up for school notifications. reynaj@wjsd.org
To follow your child's Bus Route, please contact Transportation Supervisor, Nyla Hicks, to get signed up with the BusRight App. All West Jefferson buses are now equipped to let you know where your child's bus is so you know when they are getting close to your house. hicksn@wjsd.org
