Happy Holidays
As we enter the festive season, enjoy the simple joys, laughter, and precious moments with loved ones. May your homes be filled with love and the enchanting magic of the season.
We look forward to our fun gingerbread house with our special person per student. We also look forward to starting our 2024 calendar year with a terrific start and setting goals that we can reflect on and measure as we head into a new year.
As we progress through our year, we encourage you to reinforce our West expectations that we use at school. I look forward to working together with all of you as we continue to help your child be successful now and in the future. WEST is the acronym we use to review our expectations at school and it stands for:
W- We are responsible
E- Everyone on task
S - Safe at all times
T - Treat others with respect.
Happy Holidays everyone!
Sincerely,
Craig Pfenninger
Principal Bangor West

Just for Kids
Every month our team selects two students who go above and beyond and always follow the WEST way! The students receive a T-shirt, gift card, free book from the book vending machine, and more! This is sponsored by Maier and Associates.
