Thank you for placing a high emphasis for your child's education. Students at school on time all day everyday have the greatest opportunity to learn, grow and achieve.
School begins at 8:20am and ends at 3:20pm each day.
The pick up line and buses are priority each day at the end of the day. Any end of day changes for pick up and/or walk up requests will be called at the end of the vehicle pick up line. NO children are or will be picked up off the bus line. Any and all changes must be communicated and documented through the school office and bus transportation department prior to dismissal. THANK YOU to all parents/guardians that daily utilize the pick up line and keep your child's end of day procedure the same each day. It is week seven and we notice our students thrive with routine and procedure. Thank you for your continual support for consistency for safety to occur each day.
Week six at Westside - procedures for always safe are in place. Students are expected to be at school on time everyday all day - well prepared and eager to learn. We all continue to show one another we value respect by being kinder than necessary and caring for others.
Thank you parents/guardians for making your child's education a priority. We appreciate you and your support.

HUGE Shout Out to our parents/guardians that daily make sure drop off and pick up is 'Always Safe'! We appreciate YOU! Thank you for having your child at school on time at 8:20am and in the pick up line by 3:20pm or after. The end of day pick up line begins to move approximately 3:23pm and is done by 3:30pm. Patience is key! It goes quickly when all cars stay in the line one behind the other - slow and sure. It is important to be 'always safe' as we drop off and pick up our most prized possessions - our children each day.
