Join In the PTF Fun!
Interested in getting involved in PTF next year? It’s a great way to meet other parents, connect with the staff, and get to know our school better.
Do you have a passion for sports or drama? We have a couple open positions and would love to have you join our team. We also have various committees (usually only a one to three week commitment). Or even better, come to any of our monthly meetings (no-strings-attached) where you can just sit in and listen and enjoy. Meetings for next school year will begin in late August 2021.
Email ptf@wchsonline.org for more info, or call Teresa Boyanovsky directly 503-515-3821. She is happy to talk through any questions you might have.

Next Tuesday, April 27, we’ll be doing the same thing we did at the end of March with testing of our 9th-11th grade students. This time around, we’re using the SAT program’s tests. The freshmen will take the PSAT 8/9, the sophomores will take the PSAT 10, and the juniors who have registered for the SAT, will take it. Our seniors, and any juniors not taking the SAT, will not have school that day. We start at 9:00 and should be done around 12:15 for 9th and 10th graders. The SAT takes a little longer so juniors won’t be done until sometime around 1:00.

Our girls were incomplete (less than 5 runners) so we didn't score as a team. Our girls were led by freshman Bella Harris who was running in her first ever Cross Country meet.

Christmas Concert
Next week Westside Christian High School’s music department will be hosting our Annual Christmas Concert.
Enjoy an evening of Christmas music as Westside's Music Department presents a YouTube Live Premiere of "A Westside Christian Christmas: Christ is Coming to the Earth this Night" on Tuesday, December 15th, at 7:00 p.m.
The concert will feature live recorded footage of this year’s Concert Choir, Soli Deo Gloria, Concert Band, and Ignite Worship Team, singing and playing selected Christmas favorites, as well as a few other selections.
We hope you will join us to celebrate these students and this season. You will be able to access the link on the day of the event (Tuesday, December 15th) at wchsonline.org and Westside Christian’s Facebook page.
Elf on the Shelf
Thank you to the WCHS Cheer team for putting together the fun Elf on the Shelf event this week. Ginger the elf will hide throughout the school each day. The first student to take a photo with Ginger the Elf and show it to the front office will win a prize. Play each day this week.
Athletics
The OSAA Executive Board voted to extend Season 1 through February 21, 2021 to allow training, workouts, and even competitions to occur in those areas of the state that are allowed per the Governor’s Office, OHA guidance, and local school district policy.
Fall sports moved to Season 2, which begins on February 22nd and ends April 11th with multiple activities permitted by state guidance. This change allows time for case counts to decrease in the new year and for counties to subsequently move out of the Extreme Risk category. Cross Country and Soccer, like outdoor sports, are permitted by the Governor’s Office and OHA in all counties. As an indoor activity, Volleyball is tied to the Governor’s County Risk Level Guidance and only allowed in counties deemed as Lower, Moderate, or High Risk.
Season 3 will take place from April 5th to May 23rd and feature the traditional Spring activities, which include WCHS’ Baseball, Golf, Tennis, and Track & Field. All of these activities are permitted by state guidance as outdoor activities.
The sports calendar wraps up with Season 4 from May 10th to June 27th. This shifts WCHS Basketball to the end of the calendar and provides the most runway for their prohibition to be lifted by the state. The OSAA has given no indication that a change will be made in this designation but remains hopeful that a change could occur prior to Season 4.

Senior Graduation Announcements
Parents of Seniors:
Your student should have come home with a packet to order their cap and gown & graduation announcements. If not, they are available at the front desk. Each student must order a cap and gown, but the rest of the ordering is optional. If you do order announcements, make sure that your order includes name cards or the people who receive the announcement will only know that there is a graduation at Westside Christian High School, but not who is graduating. If you have any questions, please email rose@wchsonline.org.
The representative from Jostens will be at Westside Christian on Friday, December 11 after Chapel to pick up the orders. Please make sure that your Senior turns the form in on that day.
Graduation will be on Saturday, June 12th at 2 p.m. The exact type of celebration will be dictated by the mandates of the State at that time.
Baccalaureate is scheduled for Saturday, June 5th at 4:00 p.m. It is held at Westside Christian High School in the auditorium. This event is usually attended by immediate family and grandparents.
Senior Trip is scheduled for June 7th through 10th at Washington Family Ranch. Stay tuned for information about this event.
Senior sweats are currently being designed and should be available in the near future.
