Principal's Message
Dear West TV Families,
With the school year coming to a close, I would like to take a moment to thank our wonderful PTC Board Members for their time and commitment this year to West TV. Thank you all for everything you did this year to support our students, staff and families!

West TV Staff Leaving
We have several West TV staff retiring this year: Krasi Nikolov (Music), Amy Corris (5th grade teacher) and Sue Barry (Cafeteria). We also have several staff that will be working at other schools in the district next year: Katie Hoffman (3rd grade teacher), Megan Brock (1st grade teacher), Erin Landeros (ESL teacher), and Poppy Levin (Psychologist). Peyton Matthews (2nd grade teacher) is relocating to Washington State and our student teacher Sapph LeClaire (Resource Room) has completed her teaching licensure program. We will miss them all!
This summer I'm looking forward to having my daughter Rachel visit from Los Angeles, California and also spending time with my parents that live in Corvallis, Oregon - they recently celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary!
Wishing you all a very fun filled summer!

West TV Scholarship
Each year the PTC awards a scholarship to a graduating high school senior West TV alum.
This year the award recipient is Ellie Talus. Ellie attended the PTC meeting yesterday evening - she received a certificate and $1,500!
Ellie will be attending OSU in the fall and will be majoring in Education.
Congratulations Ellie!
Thank you to all of the volunteers that helped with Field Day!
Thank you to all the members of the 5th grade Send Off Committee!
- Jillian Wang - A big shout out to Jillian! She established the Bottle Drop program for this and future West TV 5th graders.

She also arranged everything with Kingpins and worked with Boos to reserve our bus transportation.

Important change for all BSD Volunteers for next year
To increase safety in our schools, the district will be transitioning to a new volunteer management system over the summer. All volunteers — regardless of when they were last cleared — will be required to resubmit an application. Please keep an eye out for a ParentSquare message this summer with more information.
School Supply List 24-25
Headphones for grades Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd
All elementary schools in the district will be receiving new iPads for students in grades Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd. The new iPads no longer have the standard headphone jack - they will require headphones with a USB-C adapter. Students can continue to use the headphones you purchased this year again next year if you purchase a USB-C adapter for them.
Next Year's School Supplies
Believe it or not, as the spring weather arrives (and we reach for allergy meds) it’s time to think about ordering school supplies for next year. Make it easy on yourself and take advantage of West TV’s partnership with EPI to deliver teacher-approved, pre-packaged supplies to your child’s classroom this fall.
Supplies will be bundled and shipped directly to West TV for distribution to your child’s classroom before the first day of class.
Go to: https://www.educationalproducts.com/ShopPacks and enter West TV's school ID WES632. Sale will run online thru 6/23.
Please also consider adding a couple Donation Packs to help us purchase extra supply packs for students in need. These are “$5 packs” that you can add to your order.
Questions can be directed to Kelcey Roshak (parent/coordinator) at kelcey.roshak@gmail.com.
At West TV we aspire to develop empowered lifelong learners who make a positive difference in the global community.
