Week at a Glance

 

Great first week for Westside!

We had an amazing first week at Westside K-8! Students are engaged in learning and doing great work in their classes. We are so impressed with students showing PRIDE every day!
Families, please support showing PRIDE by following dismissal expectations.
  • Stay in vehicles in the car line.
  • Have your car tag showing in the rearview mirror.
  • No texting in car line.
  • Dismissal is 4:25PM. Arrive before 4:45pm.

Student Early Pick-Up:
Please do your best to avoid early pick up, as students are missing critical learning opportunities. If you have a need for early pick up, the last sign-out is 3:30 PM (M, T, Th, F) and 2:30 PM on Wednesdays.

ID is required to pick up in the office.
