A Message from Mrs. Whitaker
Hello Mustang Families,
Next week, we are trying something new to help our students practice staying safe. We will conduct one safety drill each day according to the following schedule:
Monday: Secure Perimeter (practicing how to quickly get inside the building)
Tuesday: Shelter in Place (practicing where to go during a tornado warning)
Wednesday: Fire Drill
Thursday: Lockdown and Hold Drills (More details to come)
We appreciate your support as we practice all the ways we keep our students safe!
Kind regards,
Kait Whitaker
Principal
Trails West

YOU DID IT!
Congratulations to all of the students who earned "You Did Its" this week! We wanted to highlight these 5-
Msgana Y. from Ms. Topkis's class- You cleaned up some trash that was left on the playground so that the area was clean and tidy! That was helpful and kind!
Nico CP. from Mr. Conrardy's class- You waited patiently so you could hear directions! That was helpful!
Sydney M. from Ms. Mathis's class- You picked up supplies off the floor, so the art classroom was ready for the next day! That was helpful and safe!
Rocky L. from Ms. Whitling's class- You persevered in math so you could solve hard math problems! That was helpful!
Blakely HP. from Ms. Swang's class- You volunteered to help with our student council trunk so we could have a fun night! That was kind & helpful!
