News & Information for West Middle School

Fall Play - December 1-3
It is showtime!  Wayzata West Middle School's fall production, How the West Was Dun, will open this week.How the West Was Dun plays with the format of the Western and modernizes it for comedic effect. Coffee will be served in the saloon. The villains will go on strike to gain attention. The band of deputies will not be able to save the day. Instead, the women of Low Humidity Chasm will have to save themselves. In the end, they will unite to celebrate Low Humidity Chasm's past, create a new future for the town and make the audience laugh.

Come see Wayzata West's fall production, How the West Was Dun, this Thursday or Friday evening at 7:00 P.M. or Saturday afternoon at 2:00 P.M. Tickets will be sold one hour prior to each performances at the door. Tickets run $5 for students and seniors and $7 for adults.

Are You Interested in Serving on the District's Growth Task Force? 

Committee members representing schools across the district are being sought to serve on a Growth Task Force to review objective data and information in relation to the continued housing growth in our cities and the capacity of our schools/facilities. The Task Force will not be reviewing attendance areas or neighborhood school assignments.

The Growth Task Force will review relevant data and information and provide a recommendation as to whether additional facilities may or may not be needed, when the facilities may be needed and to what extent.  It is anticipated that the Growth Task Force will meet three times in January 2017.

Please click here to complete an application by December 9 to be considered to serve on the Growth Task Force. Email Kristin Tollison, director of administrative services, at
[email protected] with questions or for additional information.
