Dear West Bourbon Elementary Families,

I would like to take a moment to address the current state of West Bourbon Elementary. We are experiencing an increase in illness among both staff and students throughout our building. This spike in sickness has notably affected one of our classes, where several students are currently absent. The impact of these absences on student learning in this class cannot be overstated, and we are committed to ensuring that all our students receive the quality education they deserve during these challenging times.

Given the current circumstances, we must carefully consider the safety and well-being of both our students and staff when making decisions about school or class closures. After careful deliberation, it has been decided that we will contact the parents of the class most impacted by absences and kindly ask them to keep their students home for the remainder of the week. This proactive measure aims to limit further exposure and allow affected students to recover while also protecting the health of their classmates and teachers.

For all remaining classes, we will continue normal operations to facilitate a stable learning environment. As always, we appreciate your understanding and support as we navigate these challenges together. We encourage you to monitor your child’s health closely and keep them home if they are feeling unwell. Thank you for your attention to our current situation.

Sincerely,
Dustin Miller
Principal, West Bourbon Elementary

Hello everyone! We are excited to have students back in the building once again. There are a few things to be aware of if visiting WBE. This especially applies to parents who drop off and pick up their students from school.

We are in the early stages of construction of our preschool building, located at the southeast corner of the WBE gymnasium. In preparation for this work, a safety fence will be erected, parking will be restricted in the East lot, and barriers will be added to the Parent Pick-up/Drop-off pathway.

Parking (East Lot):
Parking will not be permitted in the southernmost parking spots along the "orange" guardrail or by the softball field.

Parent Pick-up & Drop-off:
Parent Pick-up/Drop-off procedures will remain the same. However, the student pick-up and drop-off pathways will be marked off with cones and road barriers.

Please view the attached images for a visual representation. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Go Eagles!

Welcome back from break! Here is what is coming up for our Eagles!

Good luck to our Eagle Wrestlers as they travel to Emporia today!

Congratulations to senior Colter Powell on joining the 1,000 point club. Colter reached this milestone early in tonight's game vs. Pleasanton.
