Testing Season Around the Corner
West Families,
As we make our way into March, it means the testing season is around the corner. As of now, we are still required to take our Michigan state assessment called the Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress (MSTEP).
Students in grades 3-5 will be taking the test to get a baseline of where students are at in their learning during the pandemic.
More information will come over the coming weeks but we will be ready to test our 5th graders as soon as we return from spring break at the end of the month.
Sincerely,
Craig Pfenninger
Bangor West Principal
NO SCHOOL March 15th!
Due to over 110 of our employees receiving their second dose of the COVID vaccination on Saturday, March 13th, as well as the scarcity of substitute teachers available, school is canceled on Monday, March 15th.
Kindergarten Registration Open March 1st
Parking Concerns
Please remember to use the east side lot ONLY for parent drop-off and pick up. Our busses are already navigating in a tight area and cars continue to utilize that space and move in and out of our buses putting our students and bus drivers in danger.
In the drop-off lane, make sure your kids are ready to exit the vehicle quickly on the passenger side only and wait in line instead of passing on the left of vehicles in case someone does get out on the driver side.
If you arrive early for your child, do not take up parking spaces until your child is dismissed. It's appreciated if you drive around the block and come back into the lot to avoid the congestion. Our pick-up lot is typically empty by 3:15 and students will wait outside with an adult until then.
Masks should also be worn outside while picking up your child at the end of the day.
As a reminder, the dismissal times are below.
3:00 - Kindergarten
3:02 - 1st grade
3:04 - 2nd grade
3:06 - 3rd grade
3:08 - 4th grade
3:10 - 5th grade
If you have any questions please let us know and we will be happy to give you guidance.
