May Newsletter

As we bring this year to a close, we want to thank all of you for your support this year. The students have been doing some amazing learning and it is so rewarding to see the growth they have made this year. If your child will be returning to West next year, you will be receiving our Summer Newsletter that will have all of the information regarding next year. Thank you all for a great year and enjoy the summer break.

The last day of school is Thursday, May 23. We will be released at 12:00. Frank Church is also released at that time so traffic will be heavy around the school at that time. Please plan accordingly. Remember, you cannot double park along the roadways and please be respectful to our neighbors.

All items remaining in the Lost and Found after the last day of school will be donated or throw away. If you child is missing something, please have them check the Lost and Found located in the cafeteria.

If you are still interested in buying a yearbook, here is the link to purchase one.

BUY YOUR YEARBOOK There are a limited number left, so don't wait. The last day to purchase on-line is May 13th.

Yearbooks will be distributed to students during 9th hour on Friday, May 17 and students will get to sign yearbooks during that time. Please help us in reminding your child that all messages and drawings in yearbooks must be appropriate. If your child writes or draws something inappropriate in another student's yearbook, they may have to purchase a new one for that student.

Thank you to everyone who has helped this year with the activities and events sponsored by the PTBC. We look forward to seeing many of you again next year as well as some new people. Our last meeting is on Tuesday, May 7 @ 3:00 in the library. Everyone is invited and encouraged to attend. If you have any questions, you can always email the PTBC at westptbc@gmail.com
