We are having an amazing week back in school at Westside. All classrooms begin the day with Morning Meeting after announcements. Ask your child about their daily morning meeting.




Good evening, Parents! As we continue to roll out Rooms, our new communication platform for you and teachers, expect to receive invites via text from 98-900 or an email from noreply@edurooms.com. Your student's classes will populate over the next few days as schedules are finalized. We are excited to use this tool to communicate this year!

Attendance at School Matters


First Day is Going Well! We have many procedures to learn and it will take time practicing together. Thank you for your support and for daily having your child in school on time all day!
If you plan to pick up your child when school is out - stay in your vehicle and follow the pick up line.
Please use the pick up lane for all pick up end of day.
There is no need to start lining up at school earlier than 3:40pm. Your child will be brought to your vehicle.
Again, thank you for your patience as we all learn our school safety procedures together. At Westside we are Always Safe!
Any and all bus related questions contact Joe Anderson at (605) 698-7613 ext. 5100.
