From the Desk of Dr. Kempf
West Families,
The first week of in-person learning was a success! We enjoyed greeting our 6th-grade students in the building for the first time. West had students touring the school to get the layout and meet staff members that are here to support them. Even with masks, you could see students and adults were smiling underneath. We add a few more students next week as we add our new to West 7th and 8th-grade hybrid students to personal learning.
Next week, Parent/Teacher conferences will be in a virtual format over WebEx or by phone calls. WebEx is the program that your student uses every day for their classes. Feel free to use your student's iPad for this conference as they already have the WebEx program installed on it. They are scheduled for November 4th (4 PM – 7:15 PM) and November 5th (8am-11:30am, 12pm-3pm, 4pm-7:15pm). However, some teachers will have special conference schedules. Check the Calendly links for each teacher. If no time slots are available for a specific teacher you can always reach out to teachers via email.
As a reminder, teachers are doing their best to keep up classroom communication. As a building expectation, teachers should reply to parent emails in a 24/48 hour window. In the block schedule, we have many teachers that do not have plan time every day. They may only have a plan time on Monday/Tuesday or Thursday/Friday. Please, provide teachers some grace as we move through the school year. As a parent, check the PowerSchool portal for grades and attendance for your student.
