Admin Responsibilities 2020-21
Level 4 Bell Schedule (begins week of May 4)
Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month
Description
What does this mean for West Hills? Students currently on campus will be attending 4 days a week Tuesday - Friday. Admin will work to find solutions to work within the limits of class size under our current agreements with GEA. This may mean we move teachers into larger spaces, remove furniture or have students sit in another classroom as they complete their work under another teachers supervision (not instruction...just supervision). Any individual teacher wanting to keep their students as a cohort may talk with Admin about how we might do so. This is a teacher's choice, not a requirement.
Advisory: Will be once in the week on Wednesdays. New bell schedule posters are coming for posting in classrooms and on campus.
Congratulations West Hills...we are once again making GOOD news... only Grossmont Middle College High School and Valhalla are ahead of us in our District! Even in these difficult learning times, we persevere in offering a terrific high school experience!

Here's how it works: We raise money through donations at the finance office or online via the
webstore. When we reach designated benchmarks in fundraising, some of our brave students and
staff have agreed to play or compete in some trials (games!). We'll record these trials and upload
them to youtube for a short time.
The class of 2023 is trying to raise money for upcoming activities when things can return to some
semblance of "normal." Please help them reach their goal by donating to see some colleagues and
students endure these fun and hilarious trials!
Here are the benchmarks, trials and our FABULOUS volunteers!!

confection. Will it be an apple, an onion, or a potato??

orange juice chug for speed!

Science Building update:
Currently, all teachers have vacated the science building and are now teaching from their new classrooms (see list below). You may have noticed that the construction trailer has arrived and is located in the dirt area next to the Rumson gate entrance. Please note that parking in that area will no longer be available starting Monday (5/3). Parking is also limited in the DG lot next to the baseball field since this is where the construction company is storing their equipment and supplies.The expected construction completion date is set for July 21st and that can change based on how the project goes. Furniture, final checks and walkthroughs will occur after construction is finished. We kindly ask that you park in the front staff parking lot or the DG lot where available. Please do not park on grass panels, walkways, or on any fire lanes. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we all sacrifice for a short time. The end result will be amazing!
And now...for some GOOD NEWS.....
