AHSTW CSD Regular Board Meeting:

Date:  Wednesday, October 21, 2026

Time:  6:00 PM

Location:  AHSTW Community School District, AHSTW Elementary Library

Link to Agenda: 2026-2027 Board Agendas

Legislation was passed during the 2026 session allowing 8th grade students to pariicipate at the varsity level of competition.

With that said,  AHSTW CSD believes that the ‘advancement’ of an athlete has serious implications for the overall participation and involvement within levels our extra-curricular activities programs.  It is important to note that the following concepts are of high importance to AHSTW Community School District along with the Board of Education and are carefully considered when making a change of level decision:

• Student safety
• Treatment of student athletes by peers, teammates, and coaches
• Emotional maturity
• In addition to the physical ability to participate the student/athlete must understand the game at a level greater than peers.

AHSTW Community School District will implement a change of level process led by the head coach of their respective sport to lead our decision-making in the event a student/athlete is prepared and capable of participating on teams of higher levels of competition.

More information will be shared as we move into the upcoming school year.

During the past legislative session both the Senate and House of Representatives passed legislation relating to uninterrupted learning opportunities for our Iowa students.  The following pamphlet provides a description of the legislation and the implementation of the rules.  Please know that an email will be shared with all families during the first week of school.

Respectfully,

Western Iowa Conference Streaming!

We are excited to announce a new opportunity for families, alumni, fans, and supporters to experience even more of the outstanding extracurricular activities taking place throughout the Western Iowa Conference!

Beginning with the upcoming school year, the Western Iowa Conference will move to a subscription-based streaming model for school extracurricular events. For just $20.00 for the entire school year, subscribers will have access to all streamed contests from WIC schools.

One of the best benefits of this new model is the convenience. Rather than purchasing individual game or school passes throughout the school year, one $20 subscription will help you stay connected with your favorite team [The Vikings!] throughout the conference schedule, both home and away.

Whether you are unable to attend a contest in person, have family members who live outside the area, or simply want another opportunity to support our students, this new model provides an exciting way to follow the activities and accomplishments of students across our conference.

One subscription. One conference. Countless opportunities to support our students!

For the 2026–2027 school year, AHSTW Community School District will continue to stream all activities held on our football field and in our gymnasiums, including football, soccer, volleyball, basketball, wrestling, track, and concerts.  Please note that AHSTW Vikings away contest are not included in this pass.

Thank you for your continued support of our students, schools, and extracurricular programs!

AHSTW Community School District is EXCITED to share that we have joined a nationwide community effort to work with Project ADAM (Automated Defibrillators in Adam’s Memory) on becoming a Heart Safe School. This decision is the result of our wish to ensure that our campus is prepared to provide an immediate response to someone suffering a cardiac emergency.  

In the United States, it is estimated that annually 356,000 adults experience out-of-hospital cardiac arrest as well as 23,000 pediatric cardiac arrests (Mozaffarian, D, 2015; Okubo, M et al, 2020).  Although approximately 90% of those people will not survive the event, the likelihood of survival increases with prompt intervention. Early intervention that includes CPR and restoration of normal heart rhythm with the use of an AED increases the chance of survival.

Through our cooperative efforts with Project ADAM in partnership with the University of Iowa Hospitals, Iowa Heart, and LifeNet, AHSTW CSD has joined thousands of schools throughout the nation in preparing our school for a life-threatening emergency. This program enables us to offer any person who may experience a sudden cardiac arrest the best chance for survival. 

We especially want to thank our AHSTW CODE team led by Mrs. Kaleigh Lane, AHSTW CSD School Nurse, and everyone who participated today! 

Thank you and Congratulations!

As we continue to review our assessment data for the 2024–2025 school year, we are excited to share the results highlighted in the graphic.  It is wonderful to see the positive impact of AHSTW’s teaching and learning efforts on student achievement. Congratulations to our students, staff, and community on this success!
