Weekly Wrap Up at West Side!
For Parents/Guardians- 4/15/24
Happy Monday! We are already on the countdown to testing and the racing toward the end of the school year! We only have 6 more weeks with students this school year. This week we will be teaching, reviewing, and preparing for Milestones next week. We will begin Ga Milestones testing for our 3rd-5th graders on April 22nd. The Georgia Milestones (GMAS) is an assessment designed to provide information about how well students are mastering the state standards in Reading, Math, and Science. It is administered on the computer and includes comprehensive multiple choice questions, technology enhanced questions, open ended constructive response items, and an essay emphasizing 2 passages. We will emphasize to the students to not stress, but do their best.
Over the next few weeks all of our students will also be taking the MAP test to measure our achievement and growth this school year. You may ask, "How can I help prepare my student as a parent?" You can help by encouraging your student to do their best, and make sure they are present and arrive on time. You can also ensure that they eat breakfast and that they get a good night's sleep.
Our student's are awesome and our teachers are hard workers. We look forward to a successful finish to this school year. We ask that you emphasize with your child the importance of our PBIS expectations. Our expectations are to have respect, own our behavior, and work towards success. We call it following the Braves Way, All Day, Everyday!
- Just a quick reminder: Please do not park in the fire lane in front of the school.
- The parents of the students chosen in the Pre-k drawing on Friday for next school year, should receive a call today from a teacher. WSE will not house the Pre-k classes in our building next year. Prek will be housed at Cloud Springs Elementary.
- Please make sure you label your child's items. We have collected several jackets, backpacks, lunch boxes, etc. in lost and found. If you label the items with your child's name, we can easily return the item to the student.
- Please remember in the event that you are late ,after 8:00, you must pull to the front of the school. This entrance is only for students that are tardy. If your student is tardy, please exit the vehicle and walk them to the door and enter the building. This is to ensure safety of the student.
