·         Our PTO gave ice cream sundaes to all the 3rd, 4th and 5th graders for their hard work on the OAA.  It was an amazing day to enjoy some ice cream outside.  Thanks to the PTO for scooping and getting the kids ice cream.  They loved it!

·         With the beautiful weather some teachers have been taking the opportunity to spend some outside time learning.  Mrs. Winters and her groups spent the afternoon reading time outside.

It is hard to think about the school year being over in just 17 days.  Please help us remind your kids the rules of school and being respectful to others.  The last good behavior event is a field day with inflatables.  We do not want anyone to miss out!

 

Welcome to Our School
There is always something exciting going on at West Elementary!  Whether it is a fun and engaging lesson in a classroom, a fun day at recess, or a special event or good behavior activity. 

West Elementary has over 270 students in grades K-5.  At West we have two classroom teachers for each grade, three intervention specialists, and one title teacher.  We also have part time employees such as classroom aides, speech pathologists, a gifted teacher, a mathematics title teacher and librarian.  Our other important staff includes Mrs. Martini as secretary, Mr. Daley as custodian, Mrs. Walton in our cafeteria and all of our specials teachers that teach Art, Music, and Physical Education.

The children at West are rewarded by earning Character Charms.  Character traits are observed daily.  We put a lot of emphasis on showing and displaying good character.  Students who meet their behavior goals also are eligible to participate in the quarterly good behavior events that go on at West.  Some examples of past good behavior events include ice cream treats, line dancing lessons, movies, and special assemblies. 

People always ask what makes your school special and I always say how caring everyone is each day.  When I walk into West Elementary, I know that each kid is being treated in a caring way by their teacher and other staff members.

Come visit anytime!
