Happy First Day of Spring Westside Families! I hope you and your family enjoyed the break and students are ready to conquer the last nine weeks. We have many exciting events and happenings coming up, so be sure to stay in the know via these newsletters, our Facebook page and school communications. Don't miss out!

To kick things off this week, we are launching our BIGGEST fundraiser of the year...the Westside Fun Run! See below on how YOU can help enhance Westside Elementary's campus for students!

Students in grades 4-6 will be taking their end-of-year Diagnostic on iReady starting this week. These scores are used as part of the data to determine if your child has mastered grade level standards and eligible for promotion to the next grade level. Please encourage them to take their time, do their best, and show what they know!

As always, feel free to reach out to us with any positive feedback or concerns. We look forward to another awesome nine weeks together!
