Cycle Days
Be a Better YOU!
For the 2026-2027 school year, West Elementary will be working on targeted practice on some “life” skills in addition to academics. Every week or two, we will practice a skill that will help us all be a little better. This week’s skill is FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS.
Most people are pretty good at FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS but a reminder never hurts. This week we will be practicing.
Keep Practicing These "Be a Better You" Skills
September 14, 2026 -- LISTENING
September 21, 2026 -- FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS
September 28, 2026 -- PIECES OF ME
October 5, 2026 -- KNOWING YOUR FEELINGS
Parent Portal - Make Sure You Have Access
The West Seneca Central School District PowerSchool Parent Portal can be found at https://powerschool.wscschools.org/public/home.html. You must know your child's PowerSchool Access ID and Password to create an account. This information will be given to you at registration once your child is in our database as registered. If you cannot locate this information, please contact the Main Office at 716-677-3250. To create a new Parent Portal account, please follow the instructions on our Parent Portal Page.
Parent Portal is open with information for K-5 students.
Also, your child's teacher may be using My Power Hub to share important classroom information. This two-way communication system is linked to your Parent Portal account. Make sure you don't miss out by keeping your Parent Portal account up-to-date and active.

Participating in Intramurals
Soon, West Elementary will be hosting some sports intramurals for students. In order to participate, students must have the following on file with Health Office:
A current NYS physical examination form on file (valid within the past 12 months);
Up-to-date health history and emergency contact information;
Requested medical authorizations one file (e.g., asthma action plan, allergy action plan, and any corresponding medications).
Intramurals now fall under athletic activity guidelines and, therefore, every student must be medically cleared by the school nurse prior to participating in intramurals.
For more information see the district communication linked below. Prior to intramural sign-ups, expect us to verify that your child has this information on file with us.
Get A Grip on Cancer -- Thanks for Your Support
September was Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month. Carson’s Army once again collected grip-
bottom socks to bring comfort to the patients at Golisano Children’s Hospital of Buffalo!
Thank you so much for donating to "Get a Grip on Cancer." Your donations helped get West Middle School and West Elementary to 3000 pairs.
