From the school

"At Western HS we are committed to ongoing two-way communication between our parents and staff. Monthly Parent Advisory Council meetings are held to present the most current updates about our school and to address parent concerns and questions. Parents receive special mailings and postcards to supplement timely information. Also, they receive at least six newsletters throughout the year highlighting school news and student accomplishments. In addition, a graduation newsletter is mailed to senior parents and a freshman orientation is held twice yearly. Open House offers parents the opportunity to tour the school and meet with their students teachers. The Intouch Online system allows parents the ability to access student academic and attendance information. Furthermore, the auto-dialer delivers daily messages to parents/guardians regarding attendance as well as any pertinent school information."
