First day of practice for boys and girls basketball, wrestling, and swimming is Monday, November 9th. Athletes may not practice without completing the proper paperwork. Basketball, both boys and girls, is a "cut" sport. Don't put yourself behind other athletes by not being eligible to participate on the first day of practice.

Athletic Study Program
By Salem-Keizer School District policy, any currently participating athlete at an S-K high school who receives an "F" or a grade point average below 2.0 in the previous 6-week grading period must be placed in a study program. This program at West entails those athletes reporting to a predetermined room with their lunch, during their lunch period, every day until dismissed from the program. This program is monitored by Mr. Sutherland - Athletic Director.
The program for grades reported during the past 6-week grading period will begin on Monday, 10/26/09. Athletes have been notified.
Students have 12 minutes from the end of the period prior to their lunch to report to the designated room. Again, they may bring their lunch. If a student/athlete is late, they will not be allowed to attend. This will be counted as an unexcused absence from the study program.
If an athlete is either unexcused absent from the study program or absent due to sickness, they will not be allowed to participate in any athletic activity for that day - practice or contest.
This program is designed to ensure that West athletes are students first. Athletics teaches the "life lessons" that support academics, they are not our primary purpose.

Friday, October 30th
On Friday, October 30th we will honor our senior football players, band members, color guard, and cheer at the football game versus Redmond.
At our pep assembly for football earlier in the day on Friday we will take a moment to honor some of our athletes who perform in front of much smaller crowds but work just as hard and represent West just as well.
During the assembly we will honor seniors from our girls soccer, boys soccer, volleyball, and boys and girls cross country teams.
While parents won't be introduced at this event, they are welcome to attend.

Frosh Game - 10/29/09 (Redmond)
Just a "heads up" that the frosh game vs. Redmond for next Thursday the 29th will start at 5:00 p.m. rather than 6:00 p.m. This is to allow the Redmond football team to get home at an earlier time.
