From the Principal
As we move through November and approach the end of the quarter, I encourage all families to take a few minutes to check in with their student's teacher. This is a great opportunity to discuss your child's progress, celebrate successes, and identify any areas where additional support may be helpful. While progress reports provide a snapshot of student achievement, ongoing communication between home and school helps us better understand each student's growth and needs.
If you have questions about your child's academic progress, classroom performance, social development, or areas for improvement, please don't hesitate to reach out to their teacher. These conversations help ensure that we are working together toward the same goals and providing students with the support they need to be successful. Strong partnerships between families and teachers make a meaningful difference.
A few important dates to keep in mind as we move through the month: Wednesday, November 11th, is an Early Release Day. Please plan accordingly for the adjusted dismissal schedule.
Looking ahead, our next Parent Voice Committee meeting will take place on Wednesday, December 2nd, from 3:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. We welcome and encourage families to participate. Your perspectives, questions, and ideas are valuable as we continue working together to make West Elementary the best it can be.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. We appreciate everything you do to help our Wildcats grow and succeed!

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.
