One of Westside's 4th grader teachers, Ms. Taber, gets snacks from all over the world & shares with her students.

How Sick Is Too Sick For School?
Tis the season in Oklahoma - sniffling, sneezing, coughing, headache, fever, tummy aches, nausea, etc.
We miss our students when absent, but sometimes they need to recover at home; how do you make that decision? CPS encourages following the Oklahoma State Department of Health guidelines. These guidelines will help the child recover and protect against the spread of illnesses to other students and staff.
Remember, students/staff should only return to school after being fever-free, vomiting or diarrhea-free for 24 hours without medication.

Tremendously Terrific Typing ⭐️

Important drop off reminders ‼‼
The front of the school is reserved for buses and daycare vans only! All other students being dropped off will need to be dropped off behind the school. The big loop allows students to be dropped off as early as 7:25am, and the small loop at 7:40am. Students should not be dropped off before then unless they are here for a special club meeting. After 7:50am, students will need to be walked into the office and checked in by their parent/guardian.
You know it's a great day when you get to eat lunch with your teacher!
We love catching students building relationships with their teachers and friends. ♥️🦓
