This is a quick reminder that students should place their cell phones in their Yondr pouches each day when they arrive to school.
If a phone is found out of the pouch during a safety check when they arrive, students will be asked to place it in their pouch with staff support. If a student does not have their pouch, the phone will be safely stored in a lock box and can be picked up after 2:50 PM.
We truly appreciate your continued support in helping us create focused, distraction-free learning environments for all students. Thank you for partnering with us!

I hope this message finds you well.
As the weather warms, we are noticing an increase in the number of students remaining in the building after dismissal. While we appreciate that our students feel a strong sense of connection to Western High School and view it as a safe and welcoming space, we want to take a moment to reinforce expectations to ensure the safety and well-being of all.
In alignment with Baltimore City Public Schools' safety expectations and supervision guidelines, students must be under the direct supervision of a staff member while in the building after school hours. Students are not permitted to remain in the building unsupervised at any time.
Students who plan to stay after school must:
• Be participating in a supervised activity (e.g., coach class, club, athletics, or meeting with a staff member)
• Remain with their assigned staff member for the duration of that activity
• Exit the building promptly once the activity has concluded
This expectation is in place to ensure that all students are safe and appropriately supervised while on school grounds.
We ask for your partnership in reinforcing these expectations with our students. Staff members, iff you are sponsoring an after-school activity, please ensure that students are actively supervised and that transitions to and from the building are clearly communicated.
Thank you for your continued support in maintaining a safe and structured environment for our Western community.
Warm regards,
Western Administration Team
