Navigation Notes
Welcome to March Westside Families! Even though we only have 9 days until Spring Break begins, your child's learning is in full swing, and our goal is to increase their growth as much as possible. Please continue to encourage them and help them arrive on time each day! (Spring Break for students: March 11-March 20)
This week has many exciting events coming up and we need your help to make them a success! See below for all the details.
As always, feel free to reach out to us with any positive feedback or concerns. We look forward to another amazing semester together!

Name the Zoo Street Contest Westside is competing to name the street that leads to the Brevard Zoo! We have narrowed it down to 7 names and are having a competition to see which name we submit. Students can VOTE on their favorite name for the next 8 days by donating non-perishable food items. One item equals one vote! All food donated will be given to the local food pantry at the end of next week. What street name will Westside choose? Will the Brevard Zoo choose ours? More to come.... | Wednesday is Read Across America Day Help your child join in the fun on Wednesday, 3/2, as we celebrate Reading! Students are invited to dress as their favorite book or Dr. Seuss character. We will be doing a schoolwide "Drop Everything and Read" event, so send in one or more of their favorite books to enjoy! Trivia and other activities will occur throughout the day. If you are a registered BPS volunteer, reach out to your child's teacher to do a guest "read aloud" that day! | Academic Support Program (ASP) ASP continues this week on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 2:30-4:00pm for selected students. If your child is participating, please be sure to pick them up in the SIDE car loop with ID at 4:00p. |
