Mrs. Buchanan has posted all of the new route information to the West ISD website, and she is planning to attend all Meet the Teacher and Schedule Pick-Up events to share out the information as well. As always, please feel free to contact her at (254) 981-2032 or jbuchanan@westisd.net.

Please submit your child’s updated immunization record or a current, valid Conscientious Exemption (Affidavit) no later than the first day of school to avoid any interruption in attendance. TEA Authority: The Texas Education Agency (TEA) requires school districts to enforce the immunization requirements established by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) under the Texas Administrative Code as a condition of school attendance
