What's Up, Westy Academy?
The first survey is inquiring about the culture and climate of the building. The second is about teacher effectiveness at WAIS. They both take under 5 minutes. The third survey is a needs assessment that WAIS is conducting: We are attempting to build wrap around services to help our community with essential needs. It takes less than five minutes.

Thank you for supporting us in our improvement efforts. As always, if you have thoughts or concerns, please don’t hesitate to call us!
Lastly, traffic is always a beast to tackle when it comes to the after school pick up lines! Please be considerate of all traffic and be sure to use your designated pick up locations for your students. Remember, middle schoolers are picked up in the loop in front of the school, Intermediate (4th-5th grades) are to be picked up in the bus loop, and Primary (K-3rd) in the North parking lot. Also keep in mind basic traffic laws and please do not block an exit or entrance into parking lots, or access to neighboring streets. We know that everyone wants to get home, but we want to be sure its done safely!
That's all for this week, have a great weekend!

Lost and Found
Students! Make sure to check the Lost and Found bin located outside the Main Office for missing coats, sweaters, and more! If you have misplaced any belongings during the school day, this is the place to start your search.
**The Lost and Found bin gets FULL pretty quickly! Due to the space constraints in the school, all unclaimed Lost and Found items will be donated at the end of every Hexter. Please make sure to check the bin frequently!
