Dear Parents/Guardians:

Having completed our first quarter of the school year, I feel compelled to compliment the students, staff, and our parent community. We continue to face many construction challenges this fall and will do so for the remainder of the school year. Though these challenges are difficult to navigate, the final product will be well worth it.

In early November we celebrated Veterans Day and specifically Veterans on our West team -- Ms. Withers, Ms. Sladek, Ms. Stanley, Mr. Erdman, and Mr. Brown. I would like to once again thank our Veterans here at West and throughout our nation for their dedicated service. A special thanks goes out to Frankie Stefl, Ryan Volkers, and Jenna Graveen for their playing of Taps on Veterans Day -- they were outstanding!

As we look ahead, it is time to begin planning for the next school year. Students currently in grades 9-11 and their parents will have the opportunity to schedule an appointment with their Homeroom Advisor on January 27, 2025 to review and finalize course selections. More information to follow.

Parents of eighth-grade students planning to attend Wausau West High School will be receiving information regarding the registration process in early January 2025. We are excited to welcome you to Wausau West Eighth grade Parent Night on January 6, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. in the Auditorium.

Finally, on behalf of the entire Wausau West staff, I would like to extend our warmest greetings to you and your family. As the winter and holiday seasons continue, our wish for you is continued good health, safety, and happiness. Enjoy this time with your family!

Jeb Steckbauer
Principal
