Dear Families,

We are looking forward to our upcoming parent-teacher conferences and the opportunity to connect with you about your child’s learning and growth.

Conferences are a time to celebrate progress, share information, and work together to support each student’s success. Your partnership is important to us, and we appreciate the time you take to meet with your child’s teacher.

Thank you for your continued support and for being an important part of our school community.

Warm regards,

Don Belknap, Principal

We’re excited to share that our school is competing with others across the district for **top attendance! ** Strong attendance means strong learning, and every day your child is here makes a difference.

We can’t do this without you. Your support in getting students to school on time and every day helps us shine and shows the power of our school community.

Thank you for partnering with us and helping us lead the way. Let’s keep it going!

Please email the following to our attendance clerk:

• Doctor's notes, dentist's notes, appointment slips, passport appointment paperwork, funeral announcements
• We will no longer take phone calls for verified absences.
• Email: westernhills_notes@episd.org

Parents, for the month of November we will be having an Attendance competition between each grade level. The class in each grade level with the best attendance will get extra recess time!

We are incredibly proud of your hard work, teamwork, and dedication. Your commitment and perseverance truly shine, and you represent our school with excellence.
