Dear West School Families,
It's hard to believe but summer is coming to a close (tear!) and t
he first day of school, Thursday, August 29, is rapidly approaching! As you enjoy these last precious summer days, we wanted to share with you some important back-to-school information. See below for upcoming events and check the PTC website for more.
And don't delay - join the PTC today! Your membership fee helps fund the PTC's operating budget, which is used for programs that benefit all students at West. Each membership includes a school directory, which we will distribute at the Welcome Back PTC Coffee on Sept. 10.
Are you looking to get more involved at West this year? Would you like to be a Classroom Coordinator for your child's class? Please let us know ASAP by completing the 2019-2020 PTC Volunteer Interest Form - if you haven't already!
Looking forward to a great year
!
