Navigation Notes
Happy Sunday Westside Families! We hope you had as much fun as we did at our Title 1 Parent and Family Engagement Science Night last week! If you RSVP'd but were unable to attend, your child came home last week with learning activities. If you feel you need further assistance with the activities, and would like a virtual meeting and/or would like an additional copy, please feel free to contact us at: Burchinal.Rebecca@Brevardschools.org.
Also, our students LOVED the PBIS Bingo event on Thursday and 9 lucky students won grand prizes. Check out the gallery below for photos from both events! Super Shout Out to the following Business Partners for helping make these events possible: Orlando Science Center, Future Home Loans (Elizabeth Cassidy), BSS Exteriors, B&B Ice of Tampa, Kona Ice, Kohl's and Walmart on Malabar!
If you attended our FREE Fingerprinting Event, don't forget to let your child's teacher know you are willing to volunteer when clearance is issued. We'd love to have your help and support at school, on field trips, and evening events! If you have volunteer questions, you can reach to our coordinator, Mrs. Cruz-Martinez at: Cruz-Martinez.Maria@Brevardschools.org
As always, feel free to reach out to us with any positive feedback or concerns. We look forward to another amazing semester together!
