The West Des Moines Community Schools is implementing a new going green approach for distributing flyers from the district and its non-profit community members to which approval is granted. Instead of sending this information home in your student's backpacks, we will post links to our Virtual Backpack.
Next school year may seem far away, but we want to let you know that your child's
lunches will look different next year. The USDA has new nutrition standards for school
meals beginning in 2012-13. For more information CLICK HERE.

At the Monday, Feb. 27 West Des Moines Community Schools (WDMCS) Board of Education meeting, the district administration presented a brief outline of its recommendations to reduce the costs of Phase 3 of the Valley High School renovation project, which includes the new auditorium.
The recommendations were selected from a wide-range of cost-saving options provided by the design and construction management team and reviewed by acoustical experts. These options were also shared with the Valley fine arts faculty on Friday, Feb. 17. The goal is to maintain the overall quality of the facility design, while providing necessary cost savings.
