Westside Elementary

Mrs. Sweets class had some very special visitors! 🦘 These second graders learned all about animals and had fun while doing it 😊

🏫 Six weeks from today, we will welcome all our students back into our halls! Although we are enjoying the opportunity to recharge, we have not stopped planning. In the spirit of planning, we have created a BACK-TO-SCHOOL page on our website where you can find "all the things" in one place. We still need to work out a few details, but we will update the webpage weekly as those decisions are made. 👀 From Athletic passes to Zebra Stripes, find out what we know at this time - https://www.claremore.k12.ok.us/page/back-to-school

It's Twinning Tuesday! We love to see teachers and students dressed alike- the students find so much joy in it!

Westside 4th & 5th graders showed their talents in the 2025 talent show. 🎤 🎶 Parents showed up to support them & their faces lit up when they saw them in the room.

Maverick got to hang out with the seniors when they visited Westside! 👩‍🎓

During the senior walk through, some of our seniors got to catch up with their previous teachers. It was such a bittersweet moment while they reminisced. ❤️🦓

Westside recently introduced a new therapy dog- Maverick. Under the guidance and ownership of our very own Mrs. Lyons, Maverick is bringing cuddles and therapy in a new way to our school. He visited each class and the students learned not to approach Maverick, but to let him approach you when he is wearing his vest. He is already loved so much & is doing great things! Welcome to the Zebra family, Mav! 🐕
