Westside third graders have been studying Native American history and are currently working on their own projects studying the history of different tribes. Ms. Palmer shared her heritage and knowledge of Native Americans in a wonderful presentation for all of the third grade wing. She shared dances, clothing, and the different expectations of the Native American people during their dances. 💃🕺🎶

Zebra Family, The safety of our students and staff is our top priority. Please be assured that CPS is closely monitoring the weather forecast. All sites have reviewed our safety protocols. We understand that parents/guardians may want to pick up their children through the proper channels. If you choose to do so, this will be an excused absence. However, we do not want to send children home without supervision; therefore, our buses will not run early. If the weather changes and we must delay the buses, we will notify you as soon as possible through the CPS Mobile App and the Stopfinder App.
