Our school day begins at 8:30 am. Students may enter the building at 8:20 am. We ask that students not arrive before 8:10 am, unless:

• Participating in a school activity
• Serving on Safety Patrol Working with a teacher
• Attending Club 66 Before & After Care program

WHY CAN’T I ARRIVE EARLY?
Teachers are involved in team meetings, staff meetings and individual planning from 8:00-8:20 am. There is no supervision before 8:10 am.
Thanks for your continued cooperation.

Absences, Tardies

• If your child will be absent or late for school please notify the office. If we have not heard from you, it is our policy to call.
• Students arriving after 8:30 am are considered tardy and must come to the office to check in.

You are invited to BE A PART OF THE MUSIC!This fall, you will have the opportunity to do what so many successful students have done before you by being a part of Band and Strings! In the first three weeks of school we will be visiting all the buildings, demonstrating the instruments, and giving students the opportunity to select an instrument of their choice. We will have a parent meeting about our program on Tuesday, August 30 at 6:30 p.m. at Westside Middle School. All are welcome to attend to learn about elementary instrumental music and meet the teachers. We are excited to introduce your child to the world of instrumental music!

For the 2022-23 school year, the federal government has elected to NOT continue the universal free meal program, which means Westside Community Schools’ students will transition back to a traditional model with paid lunches.

If applicable, families in each household will need to apply for free and reduced meal benefits (which carry over to other opportunities including technology, camps, etc.)
