We are so very proud of this group of 7th graders for their academic growth in math. Each of them has worked hard to increase their performance! Their Smart Goal: 100% of cycle 4 students will improve their scores to increase the group average from 61% to 80% or higher by Jan. 24, 2025. They not only reached their goal, but they surpassed it and had a class average of 85%! Way to go students and a special thank you to Mr. Kindler and Mrs. Schulte for their dedication to growing our mathematicians!

We are happy to announce that West Wing School was awarded a grant from the Arizona Department of Education that funds a school safety officer on our campus five days a week.

The Mustang Store would not be possible without the generous donations from our parents and the parent volunteers who organize and run the store! We are very thankful!

Please help Mrs. Schulte and Ms. Nevers clear their classroom wishlists!

We are so proud of our Mighty Mustangs and for their dedication to demonstrating respect, compassion, and integrity!

Kindergarteners celebrated the 100th Day of School on Tuesday, January 21!

Congratulations to all of the students and staff that particpated in the DVUSD 5K on Saturday!

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.

• 2:00 Early Dismissal

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.
