Notes from the Principal
Dear West Family,
Happy Thanksgiving!
Wishing you and your families a safe and relaxing holiday weekend. We look forward to welcoming your students back to school on Monday, November 28th.
Reminders:
Hand to Hand:
If you are in need of some extra meals for your child over the weekend, please contact our School Social Worker, Mrs. Maher.
Weather:
The weather is inconsistent at best in West Michigan. Please remind your child to wear the appropriate attire to school, so they can go outside for recess. “Dress for the Weather” information below.
We are extremely thankful for all of you, for all that you do, for our students and staff at West Oakview.
Have a great holiday weekend!
West is…
Best,
Tony
Attendance
Student Absences
Just a reminder if your student is absent please email westoffice@nvps.net or call 616.361.3470 the day of the absence.
Student Tardy
Students are marked tardy if they arrive to class after the 8:15 bell. Please make sure to sign them in on the Chromebook located in our lobby if you drop off students after this time.
*If your student is attending an appointment of any kind please provide us with a doctor's note.
We are now at the point where truancy/attendance letters have begun being sent out and want to make sure we are working together to have your student in school as often as possible. Please know that this reporting it mandatory by the state of Michigan and is something we have to do.
Nurse's Corner
- Please remember that you cannot send medicine to school with a student, regardless of it is OTC or prescription. A Northview permission form for medication at school must be filled out before office staff can give it to the student.
- A fever is a temperature greater than 100.4F (according to the CDC). Do not send your child to school for 24 hours after the fever has broken and without the use of fever-reducing medication. A low grade fever is 99.0 - 100.3F. If your child is not feeling well enough to attend school, please keep them home.
- Although lice is not a communicable disease, it can be a nuance. As a parent, it is your responsibility to check and remove lice and nits from your child's hair. Please click here for the KCHD fact sheet.
- For the younger children, it is a great idea to keep an extra pair of underwear and pants in a ziploc bag in the bottom of their backpack (accidents happen).
- Continue to practice good hand and cough hygiene with your children.
Please reach out to me with concerns or questions,
