West Point El. Parent Update
Week of September 11, 2023
Dear West Point Families,
We hope you enjoyed the beautiful weekend. We are looking forward to a great week of learning!
We want to acknowledge that Monday is Patriot Day and our National Day of Service and Remembrance. We honor those who lost loved ones, our heroes who put their lives in harm's way to help others, the resilience of our country, the members of our military who continue to sacrifice to keep our country safe, and those in our community who look for ways to serve others as a way to remember the events of September 11. ❤️
Here are four important things to know for the coming week:
- Our school fundraiser is here! We will be selling the World's Finest Chocolate for the next two weeks. Please see the information below which highlights all the ways the fundraiser is used to enhance your students' experience at school. We appreciate all your support!
- Our first Community Council meeting is this Wednesday, September 13 at 5:30 p.m. in the Conference Room. This month's agenda can be found on our website.
- Picture Day is this Thursday. Flyers from Bell Photography went home with students last Friday. Please call the office with any questions. 801-402-2750
- If you have not already done so, please log onto myDSD and sign the electronic policy documents, including the Safe Schools Policy.
Sincerely,
Marjorie Conrad and Michelle Yoho
Principal and Assistant Principal, West Point Elementary
