Thank you to all of the Veterans in our community and to those that were able to attend out appreication assembly on November 8. We are truly grateful for your sacrifice and commitment to our great nation!

We’re excited to welcome our future kindergarten students, and now is the time to register your incoming kindergartner for the upcoming school year! By registering now, you help us plan and ensure we have the right resources and staff to provide the best possible experience for every child.

Your timely registration allows us to assess and meet the unique needs of our incoming class, so we ask that you take a moment to complete your child’s registration. If you know other families with incoming kindergartners, please share this message with them as well!

If you live outside of our school boundaries, please complete an open enrollment application. Once approved, you will be able to register your incoming kindergarten student in January. Please see the link below to read more about the open enrollment process.

If you have any questions, feel free to call our office to speak with our knowledgeable school registrar, Becky. Additionally, we’d love for you to join us for a tour of our school! Our next tour will be on December 3, and we encourage you to sign up to learn more about our programs and get a feel for our school community.

Thank you for helping us prepare for a fantastic year and for sharing the word about our school. We’re grateful for your support and the wonderful community connections you bring!

Sincerely,

Shelly Schubert

Principal

Please share the flier for our next Kindergarten Information Night on Wednesday, March 5 from 5:00-6:00 PM!

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.

Our final morning bell rings at 8:45, students should be in their classes by that time or they are tardy. Please plan accordingly for the gate that you enter campus through.

Please be sure to bring your ID into the office when you check-in. All volunteers and visitors are scanned in and a sticker is printed for you to wear while on campus. Please stop in the office to scan your badge when you depart campus. Volunteers, like all adults, are role models for children. Therefore volunteers are expected to demonstrate good character and ethical behavior. Please do not engage in any behavior or activity that may cause harm to themselves or others. In addition, physical contact is not encouraged and should be limited to brief encouraging behaviors such as a "high five" or handshake. Please take your lead from staff and dress appropriately for the job you are doing. Casual clothing is fine; However, be neat and professional. No Spaghetti straps, bare midriffs or backs, or negative t-shirts. Thank you for your cooperation with this.

During our 2:00 pm dismissal time teachers meet in together and we call these Collaborative Team meetings. West Wing is a PLC school (Professional Learning Community). Our 90 minute early release days support planning for student learning, interventions, and targeted support. This time is invaluable to our teachers, and our students, as it gives critical time to our teacher teams to design skill-based instruction and assessments, review student progress data, and design supports and interventions. Learn more about what happens in PLC at DVUSD.org/PLC.
