📣 This November, we’re focusing on the important trait of Respect in our school community! 🌟 Attached is a newsletter with tips and activities to help reinforce respect at home. Let’s work together to encourage positive behaviors and create a respectful environment for all! We appreciate all our parents and guardians do to support our school and students.
Character costumes can be worn tomorrow, Oct. 31. Students can NOT wear a mask, use weapons as props, have dangerous props, or wear scary costumes. We have young students and don’t want them to be afraid. All costumes should be appropriate for an educational setting.
West Side Favorite Character Day is Thursday, October 31!
Students can dress-up as their favorite character at school!
We ask that students do not bring any prop weapons, or wear any types of masks!
West Side will be wearing green tomorrow to support Mason, an HMS student who is having surgery on Tuesday for brain tumors. We will also be accepting any donations to help support the family.
West Side Picture Day is tomorrow, October 21st!
