Note From the Principal
Dear West Shore Families,
Happy Spring! Below are two important reminders for you.
Staff Appreciation Week
Did you know that next week (May 8-12) is National School Employee Appreciation Week? We have a fantastic staff of 62 individuals at West Shore Elementary who take their jobs very seriously by showing love and care for your students. Feel free to encourage your student to write a special note, draw a picture, or do whatever you decide to share appreciation for the many teachers, aides, custodians, food service, recess, bus drivers, after-school care and office staff members at our fabulous school!
Principal Advisory Committee
Thank you for participating in the 2016-2017 Parent Survey! In response to the survey, I would like to form a Parent Advisory Committee to go over results of the survey and brainstorm further ideas for improvement. The committee will also go over our building goals, mission, vision and belief statements. If you are interested in participating on this committee, please call our West Shore office at 810-591-6542 ext. 2. The committee will meet on May 9th at 8:30 a.m. in the WS office.
WS/THIS Fun Fair/Silent Auction - June 3rd (10:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.)
SAVE THE DATE: June 3rd will be our annual Fun Fair/Silent Auction! We would love to see you there. The WS/THIS Fun Fair/Silent Auction is our biggest and most important fundraising event. Proceeds from the Fun Fair go to purchase books for our guided reading library, technology equipment, and resources for teachers and students.
Information from your child’s teacher regarding donations for “classroom baskets” will be coming home soon. Classroom baskets are one of the most popular items offered at the Silent Auction! As always, thank you for your ongoing support of our amazing school!
If you are interested in volunteering for our games, concessions, or silent auction areas, please feel free to contact any of the three wonderful volunteers below or you may sign up by clicking the following link:
