A Message from Principal Paul Bierman
Greetings Westside Families!
I want to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to everyone who made the first half of our school year a fantastic experience for students and teachers. I have enjoyed establishing a relationship with your child and continue to enjoy watching them grow academically. We can accomplish great things, but we will accomplish greater things if we do it together. 

I encourage parents and community members to visit our website for updated information on events and happenings at our school. The most reliable way to learn more about what is happening here at Westside is through our website, reading this monthly newsletter, and reading the weekly emails the office sends out. We want to hear feedback, so please send us your comments by email, by mail or in person so we may become a better school for our students and our community.

Procedure for Delays and Cancellations 
In an effort to continue to improve communication with families and to ensure the safety of students, we will now send a Skylert message (phone, text, and email) for all weather related changes to our school day (late start, early dismissal, or cancellation).
Previously, we have relied on television and radio for the early morning late start or cancellation. We typically have only used the Skylert message system (phone, text, email) for early dismissals and other announcement and reminders.
 
It has become clearer to us that more and more families have discontinued the use of television in their homes, and/or do not listen to local radio. As a result, too many families were not getting those early morning messages in a timely manner.

For more information on how a decision is made to delay or cancel school, please visit our website. Follow the district's Facebook page and stay up to date on news and information.
