Dear Wildcat Community,
As we move into the final weeks of the quarter, we want to celebrate the many ways our students continue to shine. Our fall play, Rogue's Crew, was an incredible performance that showcased collaboration, confidence, and creativity by our cast and crew. Thank you to the families, staff, and volunteers who helped bring the production to life—your support truly strengthens our school community.
We are also excited for our upcoming Unified Theater production, where students of all abilities come together to create something meaningful and joyful. This event reflects the best of who we are and reinforces our commitment to ensuring every student has a place to belong and contribute. You can experience this for yourself, Wednesday, December 17th at 6:30pm.
Our winter athletics are also in full swing. As Boys' Basketball wraps up a season filled with perseverance and growth, we are proud of the teamwork and sportsmanship they’ve demonstrated. Meanwhile, Girls' Basketball is gearing up for a strong start—come cheer them on as they begin their season and build momentum. We love seeing our students support one another in the stands and on the court.
As we finish the quarter, we invite families to help us reinforce our core values in everyday moments. Here are a few examples of how our students are living these values each day:
Community: Students come together to perform, compete, and accomplish new skills, lifting each other up both inside and outside the classroom.
Achievement: Between mastering fractions, improving their elective skills, or growing on the Winter STAR Assessment next week, students are showing dedication and pride in their progress.
Respect: Student continue to use positive language, show kindness, and support their peers in a variety of spaces.
Equity: Those positive words and actions then provide all students with the opportunity to access their education in a safe and respectful environment.
Thank you for your continued partnership with us as we continue to have an amazing year at West!
