Dear West Point Families,
We would like to wish each of you a Happy Valentine's Day! We love the opportunity to teach your children and make a difference in their lives.
Here are three important things to know for the coming week.
1. Parent surveys are now open through February 23. We hope you will take a minute to complete the following surveys.
- Teacher and school surveys - available on your myDSD account
Parent School Climate Survey - found here
2. Be sure to mark your calendars! President's Day is next Monday, February 19, and there will be NO SCHOOL that day.
Sincerely,

School Information
February School Missions
Please encourage your students to complete our reading challenge this month. We have already had a few students turn in their completed boards! Our goal is to help students get in the habit of reading at least 20 minutes every day. Thank you for your support!
Our PTA Mission is to give someone a compliment, which goes hand in hand with our Bonus Friendship Edition! Be sure to ask your students about their kindness missions each week.

Each winner will receive a $50 gift card to RUSH, and their classmates will each receive a free activity at RUSH.
