Picture retakes are December 8. 📸 Anyone that missed the original
picture day or would like a different picture, this is the day! Just a reminder- retakes require the original pictures to be brought back to have a retake taken.

The District is in a difficult position due to a limited substitute teacher pool. It has become extremely challenging to provide a full range of needed services for students due to open substitute positions not being filled. We are reaching out to ask for help and support with your time in any way you can. Your contribution can make a significant difference and greatly benefit our school community. One way would be to contact the office about becoming a substitute teacher, or help recruit potential substitutes from within our broader Flathead Valley community. For more information and to sign up to substitute, please visit https://www.westvalleyschool.com/o/wvs/page/substitutes
Please come and enjoy the 7th & 8th grade Choir concert tomorrow at 7:00 pm in the Upper Commons of the Middle School!
