Message from Mrs. Diederich
Greetings West Families!
As we head into the final month of the 2019-2020 school year, it is a time of reflection. Together, we have celebrated our accomplishments, and supported one another through multiple transitions. Remote education has brought challenges. Together, as parents and educators, we have worked to meet those challenges. We learned that some things weren't working, and we made changes. We have found ways to connect and be "together", even when we are apart. As we look forward, we know that we will continue to reach our learning goals!
This has been an especially challenging time for parents. In addition to your typical parent role, you have become educators through this pandemic. We understand that this has taken a lot of learning - how to use different technology applications, as well as how to teach your chid(ren). Thank you for supporting us!
As we head to the end of the school year, we look forward to continuing our connections with our students. Be on the lookout for information regarding how to return the school technology devices.
Thank you for all you do! We couldn't have done this without you!
