Welcome to West

The mission of West Elementary is to CONNECT, LEARN, GROW & LEAD to provide a high quality education for each student's future readiness.
School Picture Information
In about a week, look for an email with information on how to order your child's picture. The email will be sent to the email address that you already have on your students PowerSchool portal.
Class pictures will take place on picture re-take day, Friday, November 3rd.
Parent Teacher Conferences
We will be having Parent Teacher Conferences October 25-26. If you haven't signed up with your teacher yet, please contact her and schedule a time. We look forward to sharing with you all of the exciting things your child has been learning!
