West Side Elementary families,
We are still collecting data about the culture of our school. This includes West Side Elementary’s rules, values, and traditions. It is also connected 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. If you have not already completed the school culture survey please provide your honest answers now. Your responses will be used as we work to improve our school for your learners. If you would prefer to wait for a paper copy of the survey, they will be available at parent-teacher conferences this Thursday, February 16. We ask that you only complete the survey one time. Thank you for your time and participation; we appreciate you!
West Side's senior girls play at 6:30 pm Monday 2/13 against Calico Rock in the District Tournament at Viola, and the Senior Boys have a bye to the Thursday 2/16 semifinals.
