The elementary students have been learning all about respect and what that means both in school and as members of their community. Friday we had two deputies from the Flathead County Sheriff's Office, Deputy Cook and Deputy Kammerzell, speak with our K-4 students to share the importance of having and showing respect. Our students also voted for some of their classmates who exemplify "respectful citizenship" every day at school.

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!
