🎉 Westside on Wheels – Rolling Into May! 🛴🚴♀️🛼
Date: Monday, May 5th
Who: All students during PE
Where: Westside Elementary Gym & Parking Lot
Get ready for Westside on Wheels — a fun day where students can bring their bikes, scooters, or skates to use during their PE time!
🛠️ Important Info for Families:
Bring Your Wheels: Students can bring their wheels from home (bike, scooter, or skates) and will walk them to the gym to check in. Wheels will be tagged with names and stored safely in class-designated “parking lots” inside the gym. Please no electric scooters, bikes, or hoverboards.
Extra Wheels for Others: Have an extra set of wheels? Bring them on Friday, May 2nd and check them in with Coach Oates for other students to borrow.
Waivers Required: Every student needs a signed waiver, whether bringing their own wheels or borrowing. Fairhaven Church is generously providing skates for those without wheels.
🚗 Drop-off, Carline & Dismissal Help:
We’re partnering with high school athletes to:
Assist with unloading and delivering wheels to the gym in the morning.
Help at carline and dismissal by retrieving and loading students' wheels.
To streamline the process:
Early Wheel Drop-off: Available Friday afternoon from 3:00-4:00 PM to reduce Monday morning chaos.
Late Pick-up Option: Parents can collect students’ wheels from 3–4 PM on Monday
🚦 Safety First!
Students will only ride their wheels during PE time, in the blocked-off parking lot outside the gym.
📝 Make sure your child has returned their waiver.
Let’s roll into May with fun and safety! 🎈

We have a limited amount of yearbooks available if you did not purchase one before the deadline. Cost is $35.
Happy Principals' Day! We are so glad you are a part of "Team Westside"!
REMINDER
Westside on Wheels day has been moved to Monday, May 5th, due to the threat of rain on Friday. You may bring your wheels to WES Friday between 3:00-4:00 if you would like to drop them off early.
Pucker up, teachers! The wait is almost over! TOMORROW is the last day to bring your money for the Kiss The Pig Fundraiser. Who will the lucky teachers be? Will Mrs. Smith have to kiss the pig?
Big Congratulations to Mrs. Thomasson’s Class!
These incredible little learners rose to the challenge and crushed their Math iReady Diagnostic goals—achieving over 138% growth as a class! Even more impressive, every single student met their personal goal of gaining over 50% growth.
To celebrate, the class voted (democracy in action!) and chose extra recess as their well-earned reward.
Way to go, scholars! Let’s give these hardworking students a big round of applause for their dedication, effort, and amazing achievement!
Make sure to get your admission fee in by Monday, May 5th. You do not want to miss all the fun! All proceeds will go to the Demopolis City Schools Foundation.
Ms. Bradford’s Pre-K class has an update on their plants! Each day brings new discoveries, as they learn how to care for their own plants and watch them grow. 🪴💐

Whose dream is going to come true? Which teachers are going to get to KISS a PIG? Make sure to get your extra dollars in before Friday, May 2nd! If we raise enough money, we might even get Mrs. Smith to kiss the pig!! All proceeds will benefit the Demopolis City Schools Foundation.
