Dear Students ParentsGuardians and Friends of Central High School
As we approach the end of another great school year and move into summer the Central Bulldog
community has a lot to be proud of First of all we want to congratulate our seniors and wish them
well as they embark on their journey Many of our students are moving on to four year colleges as
well as trade schools Several of our students have decided to join the military Whatever your
passion please know that the administration and staff at West Allis Central wish you the very best
We want to take this opportunity to thank some of the seniors and coaches for their accomplishments
this year The West Allis Central Boys Basketball Conference Champions was a true highlight this year
This was a great accomplishment for our students and the entire student body The support from the
community was absolutely fantastic Two Central automotive students received first place and
$10000 scholarship at the Universal technical Institute held at Menasha High School
These are just a sample of the many Central Celebrations for this year I am confident there will be
many more next year Summer is always a busy time in the West Allis School district Our custodial
and maintenance crews are busy preparing buildings for school and our office staff members are
completing the yearly financial statements Information regarding summer school will be available on
our website in the coming weeks If you need more information please feel free to contact an
administrator for assistance
Central High School will continue to focus on encouraging students to reach their fullest potential by
providing opportunities for all students to be stretched academically in and outside the classroom
Please be reminded that Forms and Fees Day is August 14th Please have a safe and restful summer
Sincerely
Jeff Taylor

Severe Weather and School Closing
One of the primary goals of West Allis-West Milwaukee school
district personnel is to protect the safety and well-being of
students If severe weather conditions develop a decision to
close will only be made after carefully considering a number of
factors The timing of the decision is influenced by the severity
intensity and movement of the storm center A decision to close will be made as early as possible preferably
by 6 am Area radio TV and cable television stations will be notified immediately after the decision is made
so that students parents and staff members will be informed promptly
Dismissing Classes Early An effort will be made to follow the regular end-of-the-day dismissal schedule since
changing it can cause confusion and inconvenience for parents and students On those rare occasions when
maintaining the regular schedule might result in large groups of students being unable to return home safely
school will be dismissed early In such instances radio and television stations will be asked to provide
advance warning of the closing time
Bus Transportation and Early Dismissal Bus transportation not grade level is the main factor that determines
dismissal times Bus scheduling is a complicated matter and route changes during an early dismissal have
the potential for causing confusion and the later arrival home of students Bus schedules are rarely changed
during an early dismissal Upon the end of a school day many middle school and high school students are
responsible for caring for their elementary-age brothers and sisters The school district wants to avoid
transporting elementary school students home prior to the arrival of their older brothers and sisters
Factors that determine school closings and early dismissals
Current weathersafety condition
Weather forecast
Highway and road conditions
Ability of bus contractors andor parents to transport students
Ability of staff members to travel to and from their work assignments
Operating plans of other area school districts
Status of related special activities
School closing announcement
School closing information will be broadcast over the following radio and
television stations

Severe Weather and School Closing
One of the primary goals of West Allis-West Milwaukee school
district personnel is to protect the safety and well-being of
students If severe weather conditions develop a decision to
close will only be made after carefully considering a number of
factors The timing of the decision is influenced by the severity
intensity and movement of the storm center A decision to close will be made as early as possible preferably
by 6 am Area radio TV and cable television stations will be notified immediately after the decision is made
so that students parents and staff members will be informed promptly
Dismissing Classes Early An effort will be made to follow the regular end-of-the-day dismissal schedule since
changing it can cause confusion and inconvenience for parents and students On those rare occasions when
maintaining the regular schedule might result in large groups of students being unable to return home safely
school will be dismissed early In such instances radio and television stations will be asked to provide
advance warning of the closing time
Bus Transportation and Early Dismissal Bus transportation not grade level is the main factor that determines
dismissal times Bus scheduling is a complicated matter and route changes during an early dismissal have
the potential for causing confusion and the later arrival home of students Bus schedules are rarely changed
during an early dismissal Upon the end of a school day many middle school and high school students are
responsible for caring for their elementary-age brothers and sisters The school district wants to avoid
transporting elementary school students home prior to the arrival of their older brothers and sisters
Factors that determine school closings and early dismissals
Current weathersafety condition
Weather forecast
Highway and road conditions
Ability of bus contractors andor parents to transport students
Ability of staff members to travel to and from their work assignments
Operating plans of other area school districts
Status of related special activities

so that students parents and staff members will be informed promptly
Dismissing Classes Early An effort will be made to follow the regular end-of-the-day dismissal schedule since

advance warning of the closing time
Bus Transportation and Early Dismissal Bus transportation not grade level is the main factor that determines

responsible for caring for their elementary-age brothers and sisters The school district wants to avoid
transporting elementary school students home prior to the arrival of their older brothers and sisters

Severe Weather and School Closing
One of the primary goals of West Allis-West Milwaukee school
district personnel is to protect the safety and well-being of
students If severe weather conditions develop a decision to
close will only be made after carefully considering a number of
factors The timing of the decision is influenced by the severity
intensity and movement of the storm center A decision to close will be made as early as possible preferably
by 6 am Area radio TV and cable television stations will be notified immediately after the decision is made
so that students parents and staff members will be informed promptly
Dismissing Classes Early An effort will be made to follow the regular end-of-the-day dismissal schedule since
changing it can cause confusion and inconvenience for parents and students On those rare occasions when
maintaining the regular schedule might result in large groups of students being unable to return home safely
school will be dismissed early In such instances radio and television stations will be asked to provide
advance warning of the closing time
Bus Transportation and Early Dismissal Bus transportation not grade level is the main factor that determines
dismissal times Bus scheduling is a complicated matter and route changes during an early dismissal have
the potential for causing confusion and the later arrival home of students Bus schedules are rarely changed
