Principal’s Message
Dear Westside Community:
Dear Westside Families and Students,
Welcome to Westside K–8, where we are committed to supporting every student’s growth—academically, socially, and emotionally. As we enter the fourth quarter, I encourage our students to finish strong by maintaining good attendance, staying focused on learning, and continuing to show kindness and respect to themselves, their classmates, and our staff.
These final months are an important time to reflect on progress, set goals, and give our best effort each day. We are excited to recognize and celebrate our students’ hard work through end-of-year activities, incentives, and celebrations that honor growth and achievement.
Thank you to our families for your continued partnership and support. Together, we will make the remainder of the school year a positive and meaningful experience for all.
Warm regards,
Janine Bracco
Principal, Westside K–8
