Warrior Nation, As the weather for this afternoon threatens to get nasty right at dismissal time, please read the following regarding dismissal today. All buses will be held for 30 minutes in an attempt to let the weather blow through. That means elementary students will load at 3:40 with the middle school and high school to follow. Parents, that means your students riding buses will be arriving home at least 30 minutes later than normal. We will be dismissing students with parents upon their arrival in the car rider lines at the elementary and middle school. Student drivers at the high school will be released at 2:25 in an attempt to beat the weather. All other high school students will remain on campus until bus release time unless a parent is here at the high school office to check them out.

The mandatory athletic parent meeting today at 5:30 p.m. has been rescheduled for Wednesday, April, 6th at 5:30 - 6:00 p.m. in the Fine Arts Center.

Warrior Nation, As many of you know, we are expecting a weather episode this afternoon around the time of dismissal. Please know that we are watching the weather closely and will take any steps necessary to ensure the safety of our students and staff. Those steps could include placing the students and staff in our on-campus storm shelters or holding dismissal a few minutes later than normal as we wait for the weather to pass us by, should the need arise. Please pay attention to Facebook posts, text messages, and the school website for further details as the afternoon progresses.

Mandatory Parent Meeting REMINDER: Attention Westside Athletes entering grades 7-12 for the 2022-2023 school year. There will be a parent meeting on Wednesday, March 30, 2022 from 5:30-6:00 p.m. in the Fine Arts Center to discuss new AAA athletic physical regulations.

Westside's 2022 Boys State representatives chosen by the top names submitted by teachers and staff are (pictured left to right): Camdyn Caldwell, Cason Harris, Gaige Zaffarano, Thomas Carmon. Arkansas Boys State is an immersive program in civics education designed for high school juniors. Since 1940, the week-long camp has transformed the lives of young men throughout our state and beyond. These young men have grown on to become incredible leaders, including President Bill Clinton, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, and Senator Tom Cotton - just to name a few. During their week at Arkansas Boys State, delegates are assigned a political party, city and county. Throughout the week, delegates, from the ground up, administer this mock government as if it were real: they run for office, draft and pass legislation, solve municipal challenges, and engage constituents. By the week's end, the delegates have experienced civic responsibility and engagement firsthand while making life-long memories and friends --all with the guiding principle that "Democracy Depends on Me." Only males who have completed their junior year of high school and have at least one more semester of high school remaining are considered eligible to participate. Only boys with outstanding qualities of leadership, character, loyalty and service to their schools and community should be considered. Arkansas Boys State meets each summer on the campus of the University of Central Arkansas in Conway. - arboysstate.org Congratulations, Gentlemen!
