Dear Parents,
Happy Friday! It has been an amazing week full of so many student celebrations! Our kids, staff, and community have flooded our building to share in our Westside educational experiences that promote the student/family experience, a joy for education and the growth of our learners, and community celebration for kids! Education is most maximized when strong partnerships are in place with our community! To our Westside family, you are simply the best! It is an honor to serve as your principal and be part of the most special moments in your lives! Thank you for being you, and walking this journey of educating our kids alongside us each and every day! Have a beautiful summer with your family and we look forward to your return in August!

#SR4A - Summer Reading for All
Read - all year long!
Research shows that student reading scores drop between the end of one school year and the beginning of the next. This has been dubbed the "Summer Slide". The idea is not that students magically become less-skilled readers, but rather that many are not practicing their reading skills. To help combat the "Summer Slide", LISD encourages all students to continue reading all year long. Close the gap, eliminate summer slide, and promote a life-long love of reading - one book, one kid at a time!
For more info, visit the Summer Learning site!
