Dear Families:
As we wrap up our Red Ribbon drug-free and vape-free awareness week, we ask for your partnership in continuing these important conversations at home.
I strongly encourage every family to watch the PBS documentary Nic Sick: The Dangers of Youth Vaping. It features young people sharing their experiences with vaping and the challenges of overcoming addiction.
Watch here: https://www.pbs.org/video/nic-sick-uesfxt/
Vaping can lead to nicotine addiction, can cause bone density issues, fatalities, and students who are struggling need support, understanding, and help. Please take time to listen, ask your teen what they learned this week, and remind them that they can come to you or a trusted adult with concerns.
At WLVHS, we care deeply about our students, their health, their well-being, and their futures. If you are concerned about your child’s vaping, please reach out to our counseling office or administration so we can work together to connect your family with support.
Thank you for helping us keep our Dons informed, supported, drug-free, and vape-free.
Please take a couple of minutes to complete a brief survey to share your experiences with WLVS.

At West Las Vegas Schools, we know that every day of school counts toward your child's success. To help us stay closely connected with you regarding your student's attendance, we are excited to launch a new tool called Edia Attendance beginning October 5, 2026.
What is Edia?
Edia is an automated, text-based system that makes it easier for you to track and report your child’s absences.
• Instant Updates: If your student is marked absent and we haven't heard from you, you will receive a text message within minutes.
• No Apps to Download: You can reply directly to the text message like a normal conversation.
• Your Language, Your Choice: The system automatically translates messages into your preferred language. You can text back in your native language, and the system will translate it for our school staff.
How to Use It
If you receive an absence notification text next week, simply reply to the text with the reason for the absence (e.g., "James has a doctor's appointment" or "Elena is sick"). You then upload photos of doctors' notes directly via the text chat. Please ensure your information is up to date in PowerSchool!!
Our goal is to ensure your child is safe, supported, and present for learning. Thank you for your continued partnership!
We Are Dons!
