Masks on the First Day of School
Students are also welcome to wear cloth masks from home if they prefer. We encourage families to have 1 or 2 backup masks in their child's backpack in case it should become wet or soiled during the day. All students will be provided a lanyard with clip to store their mask during breaks and lunch.
Previously worn masks are recommended to be washed prior to re-using. Thank you for your help in providing a safe learning environment for students.

And the Beat Goes On
We invite all 5th and 6th-grade students and families to help the BEAT go on in Westside by being a part of our award winning Band and Strings program! All in-person and fully virtual students are welcomed and invited to play a musical instrument this year! Due to district and health guidelines, Band and Strings will be fully virtual while Westside is in Yellow or Red Mode. Students will receive one live virtual lesson a week as well as one web-based home assignment. When the district is in Green Mode, we are hopeful we will be able to make music together in-person! We will be visiting with the 6th-grade students the first week of school and setting our returning learners up for success with their virtual learning experience. 6th-grade parents, please click on the sixth-grade registration link below to register your child for band and strings this school year. If you are new to Westside or did not have a chance to play an instrument last year, you MAY sign up for band/strings this year as well following the links below.
5th-grade families, we will be sending out a recruitment video on our first virtual Wednesday (August 26) through your classroom teachers. Please watch the video, discuss instrument options with your child and then register on the link for 5th grade Band and Strings by Labor Day. 5th-grade classes will begin mid-September so you have time to register and get your instrument. We will be hosting information sessions for families that register for band and strings as our start date approaches, but in the meantime, please connect if you have any questions about our program! We can not wait to welcome you and are excited to KEEP THE BEAT going in the Westside Community Schools!

All Students Should Bring a Refillable Water Bottle
Note: While we appreciate the popularity of such items as Hydro-flask, Yeti, etc, please consider having the water bottle be small to medium-sized. Students will be carrying these with them to various locations in the school. An inexpensive option may make replacement easier if the bottle is lost or damaged.
