Spirit Week Reminder for Tuesday 10/27:
Reminder of next week's spirit week themes at West Side:
Reminder: Picture Day for West Side is TOMORROW (Thursday, 10/22)! In-person students will have their pictures taken in the morning. Remote students can come in the afternoon between 1:00PM and 2:30PM. These will be the pictures for our yearbook! There will be a make-up date later for anyone who cannot come on this day.
We ask that you and your child wear a mask and come to the door by the gym (Door #5). Someone will be at the door to take temperatures of all who come in the building.
If you would like to order pictures and you do not have an order form, we will have extras in the office.

Mr. Witges and Mrs. Wilson
So proud of our PreK team for being creative with their family engagement tonight !!
Parents/Guardians: We will be conducting additional trainings and professional development for our staff to become better acquainted with our new curriculum and online platforms to make it a better experience for everyone. This will occur every Wednesday afternoon until Christmas break and will not affect our in-person instruction. During this time, our staff will be in trainings and will not be holding zoom/Google meetings. If you need additional assistance during this time, please call the office or send a message to your student's teacher via email or their social media platform and they will get back to you as soon as they can. The teacher will still post instructional materials for your child to utilize. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Witges or Mrs. Wilson at the office. Thank you.
