Mrs. Vasquez's 4th grade class working on a fun, educational Fall STEM Activity. They had to build a tower using toothpicks and candy pumpkins. The goal was to see which group could build the tallest tower. Before they started they discussed different shapes and how these shapes could be used to build a taller and more stable tower.

Here are a bunch of snapshot examples of the exciting learning and events that happened here at Westpark in October.

Above, on the left, and below
you will find some pictures of our Wildcat's washing away some of the hurt feelings they had due to someone saying something hurtful to them. During our Westpark Red Ribbon Day's each class discussed the effects of unkind words and bullying.

Above and Left
: All of our 3rd grade teacher's walked their students through a mock version of what it would have been like to travel to America way back when. The pictures show the students simulating the trip across the ocean on a boat with first class getting comfortable seating and those on coach standing uncomfortably. First class received priority assistance with everything and special snacks and drinks. They received help with completing all forms necessary to come into the United States, whereas those on coach had to complete everything on their own. Depending on what type of passenger they were they were able to experience the joy or frustration felt. This opened up some sincere conversations. This was an event that these students will not forget!

Wildcat have PRIDE!
Check out our new Positive Behavior Expectation Matrix below! The Matrix is a list of behaviors we expect all of our Widcats to show each day here at Westpark. Our PRIDE Behavior Expectation Matrix gives specific examples of how we expect our student to behavior in every area of our school. Students that are seen doing something that is an amazing example of these expectations will earn a Wildcat PRIDE Award (Similar to the golden ticket used the last few years).
In previous years our teachers chose their Student of the Month Award winners based off of a monthly character trait. This year our teachers will be choosing a student each month that shows his or her PRIDE the most in all areas of our school.
We will have PRIDE posters in all areas of the school to remind students of what is expected of them.

One of our school's goals is to create a culture of attendance every day, every month. We know that achievement and student success are linked to good attendance. We are dedicated to ongoing communication, support and encouragement around the importance of showing up. The most important thing we can do for our children to be successful in life is to get them to school every day and every day on time.
If there are issues preventing your child from regular school attendance, please reach out to your teacher, principal or school staff to discuss any concerns so we can help. Together we are making a difference!
Build the Habit of Good Attendance!
Attendance: Every student, every day!
