Westside Elementary

Pre-K has been learning all about community helpers! Today, we got to meet some of the amazing helpers right here in our own community! The children had the best time walking through an ambulance, meeting Smokey the Bear, and even getting to pet a police dog! They were in awe of the big fire trucks and all the flashing lights on the police cars. A huge thank you to all of our community helpers who took time out of their busy day to visit with us, we truly appreciate everything you do!

Today was a full day of professional learning for our teachers at WES! The morning kicked off with “Biscuits, Bonding, and Bingo” hosted by Mrs. Smith and Ms. Phillips — a fun and engaging start to the day! Afterwards, teachers participated in an i-Ready training and then broke into grade-level teams for math and reading data meetings. Our teachers continually strive to grow professionally and refine instruction to ensure success for every student. 💙🐾
