Hello Westside Parents and Families! Can you believe we are less than a week away from our final month of school? Even though summer is right around the corner, we still have lots to do in the next 6 weeks. FSA testing begins the first week of May (see schedule below) and numerous end-of-the-year events are upcoming.

Westside's Staff has tirelessly dedicated themselves to the success of our school during one of the most unprecedented years. NEXT WEEK, May 3rd-7th, is Staff Appreciation Week to show them they mean the world to us! We are thankful for the many business partners from our community who have donated various meals, treats, and gift cards to spoil them that week.

If your family would like to share the love and let them know how much you appreciate them, you can either follow the guide below OR create your own way to make them feel special. Don't forget the Activity Team, ESE/Speech/Language, Counselors, Child Care, and any other staff who positively interacts with your child.

• Family Note of Appreciation- Handwrite a note of thanks to your favorite staff member and/or child's teacher.

• Sweet Treat- Send in a sweet treat to child's teacher and/or staff member.

• Student Art- Have your child create a portrait or creative piece of art to show how much their teacher and/or staff member means to them.

• Salty Snack- Surprise your teacher and/or staff member with a salty snack today!

• Special Gift- family choice of a special gift or treat for your favorite staff member and/or child's teacher.

As always, thank you for your continued support for the school and your children! Just a reminder there is NO SCHOOL Monday, 4/26! Our office will also be closed. Both will resume Tuesday, 4/27. Have a wonderful week!
