West Point El. Parent Update
Week of January 8, 2024
Dear West Point Families,
It looks like winter has finally come! We hope you were able to enjoy the snowy weekend. With the snow and cold weather, please be sure to send students to school dressed in winter clothes. As a reminder, the district will announce any late start days due to inclement weather by 6:00 a.m. that morning. If we have a Remote Learning Day, teachers will post assignments by 10:30 a.m.
As we prepare for next year, we need volunteers for our PTA Board, and we are asking parents to consider serving. The positions are not as daunting as they might seem. Please call the office and let us know if you would be interested in serving. Our PTA President, Shauna Brown, will reach out to you and will answer any questions you might have.
Here are three important things to know for the coming week.
- 2nd Term Report Cards will be available on myDSD on Friday, January 12 at 3:00 p.m.
- There will be NO SCHOOl on Monday, January 15 in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
- Parent Teacher Conference Scheduler will be open for parents from Wednesday, January 10 through the end of the day on Wednesday, January 17.
We hope you have a great week!
Sincerely,
Marjorie Conrad and Michelle Yoho
Principal and Assistant Principal, West Point Elementary

Volunteers Needed!
We are looking for parents who are willing to serve on our PTA Board next year. It is a rewarding experience that makes a huge difference to our students. Many hands make light work, which is especially true with PTA. Please call the office if you would be willing to serve next year. Thank you!
