Happy School Psychologist Day to Westside's amazing Mrs. Walters! 🌟

Last Spring, Ms. Lang received a grant from Casey's for $5,000. She just received the books that she purchased with that grant for Westside's school library! 📚📚
Ms. Lang said "I am so excited to get them out on the shelves for the kiddos!"
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. 💃🕺🎶

Westside wants to extend a huge thank you to Grant Gingerich Insurance agency for donating to help fund our 2nd grade Reading Eggs Program. This program is a fun way to engage our students in reading and learning and we are so grateful! 📖🥚🙏

Ms. Palmer's third graders read their story of the week with a buddy and helped "coach" each other when they got stuck or needed help. They took turns reading a page out loud and encouraged each other through it. 📚📖









Ms. Taber's 4th grade and Ms. Collins 2nd grade classes, which are "Westie Besties" exchanged Halloween treats. 🎃🍫🍬

Mrs. McClurg’s class got to learn about voting & got to do a mock vote. They read "Duck for President" and counted votes as a class. 🦆 🇺🇸🗳️

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.
