Dear Mustang Students and Parents:

My name is Scott Bell, I am honored to be the new principal of West Lake STEM.
I am so excited to return to West Lake. I grew up in this area and I began my career at West Lake years ago as a school counselor. I was most recently the principal at Kearns Junior High. I am thrilled to be here and to serve you as your new principal.

West Lake has a strong tradition of passionately caring for our students and ensuring that all students learn and grow. I look forward to the coming school year and the incredible learning experiences that are ahead this year.

Online registration is open. Please go to our website: https://schools.graniteschools.org/westlakestem/ and click on the registration option under the “About Our School” tab. We will have an immunization clinic here at our campus on Wednesday, August 10th from 3 to 6. If you are a new move to the Granite School District, there is information on how to schedule an appointment for registering. There is also updated bus information under the “About Our School” tab.

The first day of school is Thursday, August 18th. I want your student to have a strong start to the school year and that begins with the registration process. We have made thoughtful efforts to make this process as simple and convenient as possible. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call 385-646-5254.

Sincerely,

Scott E. Bell Principal

West Lake STEM

To the Students & Parents of West Lake:

Tonight at Granite’s Board meeting, I was appointed an elementary school director for next school year, an assignment that will take me away from West Lake.

I’ve had multiple assignment changes in my career, but this one has hit me harder than most. At our recent Groundbreaking Ceremony, I said that, “West Lake is as good as it gets!” I sincerely believe that. I feel blessed and privileged to have been part of West Lake’s rich history, and I feel so excited for what’s coming next with the new building and with a faculty and student body who consistently set a new “school best.” I feel the best is yet to come at West Lake.

The new principal for the next school year will be Scott Bell who is the current principal of Kearns Junior High. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Principal Bell, and I’m very confident in his abilities to continue the great momentum we have at West Lake and to add much from his own experience and background.

Thank you for the privilege of serving in your community and among the West Lake family. This experience has forever shaped me, and I will always feel a strong tie to West Lake.

We Are . . . West Lake!

Mr. Howe

Mighty West Lake Students and Parents:

Due to significant snowfall, West Lake will be switching to a distance learning day for Wednesday, December 15, 2021. This is the first time we will utilize this distance learning option in response to inclement weather. We expect that there will be some issues or circumstances that will arise that will require patience and flexibility. We appreciate your support as we work through those concerns. 

Students should remain home today. We will send out an individualized email of instructions before 8:00 AM to each student and parent. You can access your classes online at meet.google.com using your @granitesd.org account.

We will use the following schedule today:
