Westside Elementary

Westside staff and friends display their love for reading with a group book club! These wonderful individuals get together regularly to discuss their chosen books and have a wonderful time enjoying each other's company. What books have you been reading this summer? #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

The National Night Out Back to School Bash event scheduled for August 1st, presented by the Claremore Police Dept. (CPD) and Healthy Community Partnership, has been postponed. Due to the high temperatures forecasted for this week, they have decided to reschedule this year’s event to October 3rd. The plan is to have the same event with an expectation of cooler temperatures. If you have any questions or concerns, please get in touch with the CPD at 918-341-9073 or by email at michelle.hall@claremore.com.

We are so proud of our Westside staff! Many teachers have been spending part of their summer building on their knowledge of Great Expectations. This collaboration between educators ultimately establishes the culture of our building and assists with growth in our Westies. Great job, to this incredible crew! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

These 3rd graders had an amazing experience as their teacher's sister traveled Paris, France. She FaceTimed the class at the Eiffel Tower and took them all the way to the top. These Westies saw both an incredible view and a huge circle rainbow! She also sent the kids French berets and scarves for the virtual field trip. Students ate croissant sandwiches and had a wonderful time. Thank you to Stacie Gardner for including our Westies in this once in a lifetime experience! 🇫🇷🦓 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

It's always special to have a visit from Jerzy the court dog. Jerzy is an Aussiedoodle who works as Theraputic Court Dog at the Rogers County Courthouse. Our Westies love her sweet calming presence and learning about the work she does. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

First grade students did an amazing job of developing their knowledge of fractions. This is a skill that they will build on throughout their educational journey. You can tell by their sweet smiles that they're pretty "partial" to these activities. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Don't forget, the Will Rogers Library has incredible opportunities throughout the summer! They have amazing books, resources, and activities for the entire family. Support our local library and keep our Westies reading! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Throw back to Ms. Palmer's class reviewing types of lines in math. Each student was given a paper with a set of lines on them. The goal was to disguise the lines by incorporating them into a drawing. What a memorable way to study line types! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Westside is looking forward to a new musical chapter next year with a steel drum band! Mrs. Gaylord was awarded this amazing grant. It is opening up so many opportunities for our students for different cultures, collaborative performances, and awesome genres of music! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
