Be A Better You Be A Better You

For the 2025-2026 school year, West Elementary will be working on targeted practice on some “life” skills in addition to academics. Every week, we will practice a skill that will help us all be a little better. This week’s skill is SAYING GOODBYE.


Most people are pretty good at SAYING GOODBYE but a reminder never hurts. This week we will be practicing.
