Welcome to our new staff!
Thank you to Pat Thompson who has been at West working double duty during the month of October. Starting on Monday, November 5, we will have two Title I staff members at West! Please welcome Michelle McLean, our new Title I Reading Specialist. Michelle will be working with us from 7:25-2:55 daily. Pat Thompson will continue in the role of Title I specialist and will be with us from 8:15-3:45 daily.
You may have also noticed a few new paraprofessionals who have joined us this year. Heather Kincade is in autistic support and Rachel Borchelt joins us in supporting our emotional support students. We still have 2 paraprofessional positions to fill. We will also be seeking an extended sub music teacher for Abby Rutt starting mid-December.
Community Open House
Please feel free to join us for our Community Open House on November 5. We will be welcoming our community and providing tours of our newly renovated school. Snacks will be provided!
The bulletin board fairy was in the hallways this weekend adding paper and borders to several boards as well as fixing boards that needed updates. Please help us keep our building beautiful and model for our students that we take pride in our school! If a board near your room ever needs something stapled back in place or fixed, please do so. Also, at the end of the day on Monday, November 5, please have students pick up any trash in the hallways or on classroom floors so that we can show the community how much we appreciate and value our beautiful building!
