Happy Sunday West End Superpod!

I cannot believe we have already been in school for 3 FULL weeks! With the support of our staff, students, district leaders, community partners, and families, we have been able to have a great start to the school year. With the addition of our Safety Patrol, we have been able to reduce the number of tardies drastically each day and with your help in following our new car line procedures for merging, we are finishing up dismissal around 2:55 each day!

Our 5th Grade Field Trip Fundraiser at Joes on Thursday was a huge success! We apprecate the support of our #westendsuperpodsquad!

This week, students will take the iReady test in math and reading. This is the first-time students in the district have taken the iReady Diagnostic. Click here to read more about this assessment and check out more details below!

All students in grades K5-5th grade will be taking the iReady assessment this week. This assessment replaces the MAP test that we take three times a year to see how your child is growing academically. Please click on the button below for more specific details and tips on how you as a parent can help make sure this is a successful experience for your child.

We have a short list, but would love to have you complete the form by clicking this link if you are interested in helping our PTA! Our first meeting will take place very soon- more details to come!

Please join us to hear your Principal talk about our school being a Title 1 schoolwide model school and what that means for you as a West End parent! All families are invited to attend- this is a great opportunity to share your voice with us!

Join us for our first "Parents as Leaders" workshops on Thursday, August 29. We will offer this at two different times: 8:30am and again at 6:00pm. Choose one to attend!
