May is upon us!
We are thrilled to be finished with ILEARN..our 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students worked extremely hard during their week of testing! Now we get to have fun celebrating the ending of this school year!
Our enrollment for next year looks larger than normal for West Elementary! This is exciting for our community, and as a staff, we are making the necessary classroom movements to ensure we have the best for our students!
Community Service
Our 5th graders end their final years at West with a Community Service Project!
Beautify Amo Day is May 5th!
Students will be using their entire school day to clean, build, and prepare items for our community!

Field Day
Our entire school will participate in Field Day on Friday, May 19th. We had over 65 parents request to volunteer for this event! Having parents and family in our building, helping our students see positive role models of our community and having a day filled with fun is so rewarding!

How We Communicate With Our Families!
We have several ways we communicate with our families!
- Weekly Newsletters from the classrooms. Our teachers do a wonderful job of sending you a newsletter detailing specific information for your child's room.
- Monthly Newsletters from Mrs. Clements. Mrs. Clements will send monthly digital newsletters via; PowerSchool email, DOJO, and Facebook.
- Class DOJO; every classroom will use this platform to relay information quickly to parents, send reminders, and post weekly newsletters. When you are given your DOJO code to sign up for your new classroom...please do it, you'll love the ease of communication.
- Facebook; we are very active on Facebook and it is a simple way to see information quickly. We keep a steady stream of information and reminders via Facebook. Please follow us @ Mill Creek West Elementary School.
- Email; we will communicate with you via email but teachers are unable to respond during the day. Please allow 24 hours for our teachers to respond.
- Phone Calls; we will communicate with you via phone but teachers won't be able to call you back during the school day. Additionally, please allow 24 hours for us to respond.
