Bond and Override Facts 2024
Dear Parents and West Wing Community,
Your voice matters! For more information on the upcoming Maintenance & Operations (M&O) Override and DVUSD Bond, including how it impacts our school and the district, please visit FAQs.
Since 1991, the DVUSD M&O override has funded specialized programming, including our DVUSD Gifted Services and FREE Full day Kindergarten! While many of our surrounding school districts offer limited (or significantly restricted) gifted services, DVUSD Gifted Services offers true gifted offerings at EACH of our campuses. For more information (or to spread the word), click the link below. You may not know but the State of Arizona does not fully fund full day kindergarten but because we know how valuable it is for students we choose to fund full day with no cost to parents.
TAKE A LISTEN at the 18:05 minute....

Mustang Store Donations Needed
Dear Parents,
We are in need of donations for our wildly popular Mustang Store. Our students receive tickets when they deomonstrate our school-wide expectations, Respect, Compassion, and Integrity. Each month they have an opportunity to exchange their tickets for items at our Mustang Store. This year we have added some exciting "experience" items to our store. Students recently purchased time with their teacher to eat their lunch or a movie at end of the day.
