West Side will have a regular school day on Tuesday, February 8. All buses will run their regular routes except the Elephant Bus. The Elephant Bus will not run on Lakeshore Drive tomorrow Tuesday morning.
A reminder for parents ... while children's birthdays and St. Valentine's Day are special times, West Side does not allow flower or gift deliveries at school for students because of the interruption of academic time.
After much consideration, we have decided it would be in the best interest of staff and students to take an AMI day tomorrow. Many of the backroads are still impassable. High School students will need to check Google Classroom for work. Elementary students will be given a packet when they return to school. We will still have the public meeting tomorrow night at 6:00 to discuss the 4 day week option.
The public meeting to discuss the possibility of a 4 day week next year will be held Monday, February 7th at 6:00 in the cafeteria. It will also be available via Zoom for those unable to attend. We will send out a Zoom link for the meeting on Monday.
West Side's junior basketball teams play Wednesday in the Junior High District Tournament, which is next week at Viola High School.
