Hoping you have a relaxing and enjoyable holiday break with your families!
Thank you so much to all of our families who helped us reach our goal of 1,000 non-perishable items/can goods for our Christmas Sharing program. Westshore provided popcorn to all students December 20th as a reward for meeting this challenge.

Parent Pick-Up
Just a reminder, due to safety concerns during after school pick up times, West Shore has a "NO LOBBY" pick -up policy.
In the past, when lobby pick-up was an option, it became very difficult to keep track of and monitor students and the adults picking up the students. We have several safety factors to consider including custody issues and "safe adults" who are on emergency contact lists.
From time to time there are extenuating circumstances. In those instances, Mrs. Shaughnessy will consider and/or approve alternate end of the day options.
During pick up lane, please make sure that your pick up sign is visibly hanging from your visor in the passenger side window. Thanks again for your patience and support! It’s been a great team effort to make this work for our student’s safety.
