What's Up, Westy Academy?
We are one week away from Spring Break! The school has been busy preparing for CMAS testing, and we are confident our students are going to shine brighter than ever!
Keep in mind that this weekend is Daylight Savings, and we "spring forward" an hour on Sunday! This means some of our internal clocks are going to be jolted, so be sure that your students are getting plenty of rest during the change, and leading up to testing.
Parent Teacher Conferences are over for the year and went very well! We are always happy to share student successes with their families. Thank you to all the parents who make it to conferences, it is so important to have you involved!
Not much more to report on this week! Have a great weekend!
8th grade Costa Rica Trip is TOMORROW!
