Westview January Parent News

Westview Families,

Time sure does fly when you're having fun! The start of the second semester is underway. It can be hard to stay focused with cold weather and not much time off until Spring Break. This is why we appreciate extra support from families to remind students to exhibit GREEN behaviors at school.

Transportation Changes:

If you are going to change how your student is going home, please contact the office 765-973-3445. This needs to be done before 2:00 (1:00 on Tuesdays). We cannot get students off the bus once they are on the bus. We would like to ensure all of our students arrive to their destination safely.

Bus Safety:

The safety of our students is of upmost importance including while riding the bus to and from school and during field trips. We will be addressing bus safety and bus expectations with all students and work with bus drivers and bus aids to ensure expectations are being met. We also encourage families to talk with your child about the importance of staying seated while riding the bus, following adult instructions, keeping hands to ourselves, and using kind words. We want to encourage a safe and positive start and end of the day for all students and appreciate your support in our efforts.

Outdoor Recess:

With the ever changing weather, please remind students to dress for the weather and wear a warm coat, gloves, and a hat as the classes are still having outdoor recess and it can be chilly at times. (If you need assistance, please let us know and we are happy to find ways to provide for student needs)

Click the link to access programs such as Lexia and My Path. Students can use these programs for extra practice at home. In fact, many students may be able to make significant growth by using Lexia and My Path at home. Lexia is a strong research based program that we use for reading and language arts development. My Path is a similar program for mathematics. Students should know their login information. If not, please reach out to your child's teacher.
