Shout out to our West Las Vegas Cross Country Team! What an incredible season of running these athletes had. Their hard work, dedication to running numerous miles every week have truly payed off. Each of these athletes have pushed each other and supported each other in a way that truly represents our Dons and Lady Dons Pride. This weekend our runners represented the Green and Gold very well at the District Meet. While non of the runners qualified for state, we want them to know how proud we are of them. Their resilience and sportsmanship is certainly inspiring.

Good Morning Families! Happy Homecoming to all. This message serves as a reminder that students will be dismissed at 12:00 today. Also of importance...a social media post indicated that horses would be allowed in today's parade. This is not accurate. As per the agreement we have with the City of Las Vegas Horses are not allowed in the parade. We kindly ask that you abide by these regulations so our community has a cheerful parade without any chaos. We hope to see you all at tonight's game cheering on our West Las Vegas Dons.
Attached, you will find the entry form for West Las Vegas Homecoming Parade.
Letter Jacket Order Day Is Here! Please see details on the flyer.
Good morning Dons Family - just a reminder that today is Picture Day!
Good afternoon, parents, students, and families;
This message reminds you of two important school regulations regarding unlicensed drivers or students without a provisional or driver's license on our campus and our dress code expectations.
As per the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division regulations, only licensed drivers are permitted to operate vehicles on school property. Students MUST hold a valid NM driver's license or a Provisional License. A student with a permit cannot drive on campus as they need an adult driver in the vehicle. If your child is found driving without the proper license or without a parking permit, we will contact the parent/guardian to pick up the vehicle. As a school, we are committed to ensuring the safety of all our students and cannot be held liable in the event of an accident involving an unlicensed driver.
We also want to emphasize the importance of our dress code. Our code is designed to promote respect and decorum, allowing students to focus on their education without distractions. We have been seeing many issues with the dress code and students who must comply. Please visit our website: www.wlvs.k12.nm. You can click on online documents and take a look at our handbook for allowable attire. We are seeing a large number of students wearing very small revealing tops under a zippered jacket. They are taking the jackets off during the day. Many students are trying to wear shirts with insignia such as Cookies promoting vapes or alcohol. These items are prohibited.
Thank you for your support and understanding as we work together to maintain a safe and respectful environment for our students. Your cooperation and partnership in this matter are greatly appreciated.
Picture Day Has Been Rescheduled for September 3
Join us on August 30, 2024 at West Las Vegas High School for a
special event supporting students and families as they
prepare for the new school year. The Food Depot will be providing
healthy groceries to ensure our community's children start the year off right!
This event will take place from 9:30 am to 11:00 am at WLV High School.
Good Afternoon Dons Families:
This notice serves to remind you that we can only have a licensed driver parking on campus. We have many Freshman with no license or students with a permit. Keep in mind that according to the NM Motor Vehicle Division, a student with a permit must have a licensed adult in the vehicle with them. Students with a provisional license or a regular driver's license are allowed and should have secured a parking permit. Students were informed they will not be allowed to drive and park unless they have the proper licensure. Bus transportation is available to students.
West Las Vegas High School Families. Our drill was a success and a check was completed. There were no signs of any leakage of gas or odor detected. I wholeheartedly thank you for your patience and understanding. Our students and staff are valuable to us and we want to ensure they have an environment that is healthy for instruction.
Good afternoon. We want to communicate that West Las Vegas High School will be evacuating briefly. This evacuation will be conducted like a regular fire drill. With a small gas leak found yesterday, this evacuation serves as a quick test by the fire department to ensure everything is functioning normally. The gas in the area that was leaking yesterday was shut off and repaired. Student and staff safety is of the utmost importance! I appreciate your patience and understanding.
Dear Families, I hope this message finds you well. I want to express my sincere gratitude for your understanding and support during today's evacuation reroute. Your flexibility and willingness to work with us made a significant difference in ensuring the safety of our staff and students. We appreciate your quick responses and cooperation, which helped us navigate the situation efficiently and keep everyone informed. Thank you once again for your partnership and understanding. Together, we can continue to provide a safe and nurturing environment for our campus. Warm Regards, Principal Pacheco
Students this friendly reminder to charge your Chromebooks tonight. Bringing them fully charged every day ensures that you can participate in all class activities without interruption. Looking forward to seeing all of you on campus tomorrow. You are valued and appreciated.
