Congratulations to our Boys Basketball for a wonderful 7-3 winning season! The team tied for the 3rd best regular season record out of 17 teams! The boys fought hard in the A-division bracket of the playoffs and came up just short but had a very successful season as they worked hard on fundamentals, conditioned daily, and developed great team chemistry. As they say, "Family on 3!" " Family!"

West Point Jr High is conducting a vision screening for all 7th and 9th grade students. This screening will take place on Monday and Tuesday November 18th and 19th in student's English classes. The goal is to detect vision problems that may inhibit a student's ability to learn or result in permanent loss of sight. If your student already wears glasses or contacts, please be sure they wear them the day of the screening. Vision screening is not a substitute for an eye exam by and eye care specialist. You will receive a referral letter if your student does not pass the screening at school. If you would like to opt out of this screening, please make sure to sign the opt-out form and have your student bring it with them to their English Class.

We hope you all had as great of a week as we have! We are excited to invite you to join us on Monday at 7:45 AM for our Veterans Day Celebration. The event will begin with a Flag Ceremony conducted by our honored local veterans, Emery Walters, Dave Robinett, and Reid Chambers, followed by a performance of the National Anthem by our school band. Later, at 9:40 AM during Advisory, we will hold an assembly featuring our guest speaker, retired Navy Captain Don Brashaw, who will share his experiences, insights, and a great message with our students. We are deeply grateful for the service of these distinguished veterans and their willingness to share this special occasion with our school community. Your presence would mean a great deal as we honor and celebrate those who have served our country.
