From the Principal
As we move into November, colder temperatures are on the way! Please make sure your child comes to school dressed appropriately for the weather. Mornings can be especially chilly, and temperatures may change throughout the day. Coats, hats, and gloves are encouraged as the weather gets colder. Whenever possible, students will continue to enjoy time outdoors, so having the proper clothing helps ensure everyone stays comfortable and ready to learn. Please consider labeling your child's belongings to help us return any misplaced items to their owners.
As you plan for the weeks ahead, please keep a couple of important dates on your calendar. Tuesday, November 3rd, will be a day of non-attendance for students. There will be no school that day, so please plan accordingly for childcare and other family schedules. Additionally, Wednesday, November 11th, will be an Early Release day. Students will be dismissed earlier than usual, so please make sure your family has a plan for dismissal and after-school arrangements.
Looking a little further ahead, we invite all families to join us for our next Parent Voice Committee meeting on Wednesday, December 2nd, from 3:30p.m.–4:30 p.m. This is a valuable opportunity for families to share their thoughts, ask questions, and help shape the future of West Elementary. We believe that strong partnerships between home and school make a meaningful difference in our students' success, and your feedback is an important part of that partnership. We hope you will consider joining us and adding your voice to the conversation.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. As the weather changes and the holiday season approaches, we appreciate everything you do to help our Wildcats stay safe, prepared, and ready to learn each day!

Title I Information
West Elementary School in Zion, IL is a Title I school, which means we receive federal funding to help ensure all students have access to a high-quality education. This support allows us to provide extra help in reading and math for students who may need it. Title I funding also helps us offer additional classroom resources, technology, and instructional materials. Our teachers use these tools to create engaging lessons that meet each child’s learning needs. Families may also see more school programs and activities designed to support learning at home. Being a Title I school helps us work together to give every student the opportunity to succeed.
