West Side Elementary families,
We will soon be requesting your help as we collect data about our school’s culture. The culture of a school includes its rules, values, and traditions. It is also linked to the relationships among staff members and between staff and students. School culture plays an important role in the school and in helping students reach their full potential. When you see the school culture survey in the next few weeks, we encourage you to provide honest, thoughtful responses to the questions as we work to improve our school for your learners.


The West Side Elementary EAST students recently visited Indian Rock Village Retirement Home where they met many of the residents and taught them useful apps to use on their cellphones. One resident learned how to use Facebook to connect with family and friends she has not heard from in years. She is pictured with the students who helped her.


More pictures from Officer Lisenbee's visit with the 3rd-6th grade GT students as they learn about career opportunities with their CSI unit.





Thank you to AGFC Officer Tyler Lisenbee for visiting Mrs. Teresa's GT class to discuss criminal justice with the 3rd-6th grade students for their CSI unit.





Elementary report cards will be sent home on Friday, rather than today as planned.
