Wolverines,
Last week was eventful at West Geauga High School. We had a spirit assembly each day, themed dress-up days, a parade, a football game conference win, and of course the Homecoming Dance. Thank you to the Student Council for your hard work and thoughtful planning, and to all of the students and staff who participated in the various Homecoming events.
Fall Parent/Teacher conferences are coming up October 1 and 10. Having regular communication between school and home is so valuable for student growth. Please use the following link to sign up for your conferences: Linked Here
When registering for a conference time, be sure to indicate if you prefer In-person (meet with teachers in their classrooms) or Virtual (join via Zoom). Your preference must be noted in the section “Leave a Comment.”
Please record the dates, times, and format that you select so you remember your bookings. Teachers will follow up before virtual meetings with the Zoom link.
We look forward to connecting! Please contact the main office if you have any questions.
Best,
Ryan

Thank you to everyone who came to the last PTO meeting! We had a phenomenal turnout for our first meeting of the school year (next time we might need a bigger space!) and were able to get through quite a bit of business!
NEXT MEETING: Wednesday, November 20 @ 7:00 PM at the Geauga West Library. We hope you will join us!
Do you want to see the Cleveland Cavs take on the Golden State Warriors AND support your WG Upper PTO at the same time? Boy, do we have some news for YOU!!
Purchasing tickets through this link BEFORE October 8th will get you seats with all the other WG families at the game on November 8th!
We know ticket prices have gone up (like most things these days ) BUT it's Donovan Mitchell VS Steph Curry!! And their respective teams, of course
This game is going to sell out FAST, so don't wait to get your tickets!
ANYONE can purchase tickets, not just MS and HS WG families.
Mark your calendar for November 8th, gather your friends and family to head downtown for this epic showdown, and YOUR KIDS could get chosen for the CHEER TUNNEL!!
