Principal's Message

  • Dear Westside K8 School Community,

     

    Welcome back to our returning community members, and welcome to our newest Warriors! 

    I cannot believe we are beginning the 4th quarter! As we enter the final quarter of the school year, I want to emphasize the importance of consistent school attendance. Regular attendance is crucial for academic success, social development, and overall well-being. Every day counts, and we appreciate your support in ensuring your child is present and engaged in their learning.

    At home, please continue to support students with opportunities to utilize our digital reading and math programs, including Lexia (K-5), Achieve (6-8), Dreambox (K-5), and ALEKS (6-8). These digital learning tools are available through your child's Classlink portal and will provide guided lessons to increase learning gains. Ask your child to show you their progress in each of their programs.

    We have some exciting activities planned for April, including our Kindergarten Roundup for incoming kindergarten students and Title I Family Engagement STEAM Night for our current families and students. These events are wonderful opportunities for our staff, students, and families to connect, explore, and celebrate the joy of learning together.

    Additionally, state testing and end-of-course exams are approaching. These assessments are vital for identifying student progress, monitoring ongoing success, and celebrating the hard work and achievements of our students. Your encouragement and support during this time is invaluable. We kick off our writing test during the first week of April and continue with assessments in reading, math, science, and civics during the month of May.

    As we look ahead to May, we will be finishing off the year with numerous events and celebrations of learning. These activities will highlight the incredible growth and accomplishments of our students throughout the year.

    Thank you for your continued partnership and dedication to our school community. Let's make this final quarter a memorable and successful one!

     

    Warm regards,

    Janine Bracco
