Wes-Del will be conducting our annual physical event for sports physicals and immunizations Tuesday, April 20th from 2:30 to 5:30 PM at the high school. The cost is $20, and the physicals will be good for the 2021-2022 school year. This is free to students with Hoosier Health or students that don't have health insurance. Students with health insurance will need to bring their insurance card. Incoming kindergartners will have to have a physical on file and updated immunizations in order to attend school. All juniors and 5th graders will need immunizations for next year.
We hope you take advantage of this opportunity to have your students ready for the 2021-2022 school year.
Thank you,

This message is for the Class of 2020 and the Class of 2021:
At this time, we have been informed that Wes-Del High School will not be able to host prom this year. We were hopeful to provide this opportunity for our Warriors and unfortunately I am unable to get it done due to the guidelines provided by our local health department. As you have noticed, many schools have turned the planning and implementation of a prom-like event over to parents to provide an alternative experience.
Again, I am saddened by the news but excited to celebrate the Class of 2020 at their graduation on Sunday, July 12th at 3:00PM.
Thank you,

The news of our buildings closing for the remainder of the year is heartbreaking for our students, staff, parents, and community. This had to be a hard decision for our state leaders, but one which is necessary for all our safety.
Our administrators and teachers met earlier this week, and we planned to release our “April Educational Plan” to parents tomorrow. With the new developments, administrators are meeting immediately to revise our plan to ensure we meet the new requirements, and so that we can get it to our teachers, students, and parents ASAP.
Please be patient as we were not given any heads up and found out at the same time as all of you. We will get through this together. #WDpride
Mr. Mealy
Warriors,

We have our administrative staff working with Schoology, and we will get through this together! #WDpride
