Family Update

We had a GREAT first two days of school! Thank you for your support, we look forward to getting to know your students and families this year.

Take a look at West Spirit Wear. You can also visit the school's PTO Facebook Page

All schedule changes need to be submitted by August 25th. If you would like a change to your student's schedule please contact the counselors. Ms. Boettner serves students last name (A-L), Ms. Verma serves students (M-Z)

Please encourage your student to use a lock on their locker. Some students have opted not to use a lock. The school will not be responsible for items that may be missing from lockers.

If you missed the 6th grade orientation you can view the slide show here .

Today your student viewed a video around new language we are using as a district regarding our safety drills. You can find the parent copy here

A reminder that students may only use phones and earbuds before and after school, outside the building, students do not have to power their phones off or put them in their lockers when they enter the building. Students can place their phones in their pockets or small bags to be carried throughout the day; but will not be permitted to use them unless the teacher has a classroom activity requiring them to do so. No devices will be allowed during class changes, lunch, recess, and bathroom breaks.
