🎉 Westside on Wheels – Rolling Into May! 🛴🚴♀️🛼
Date: Friday, May 2
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 Thursday, May 1, 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 Thursday afternoon from 3:00-4:00 PM to reduce Friday morning chaos.
Late Pick-up Option: Parents can collect students’ wheels from 3–4 PM on Friday.
🚦 Safety First!
Students will only ride their wheels during PE time, in the blocked-off parking lot outside the gym.
📝 Waivers will be sent home Monday.
Let’s roll into May with fun and safety! 🎈

Would you like to help us raise money to make some improvements to Westside this summer? If so, we would love for you to participate in our online-only fundraiser. Not only will the fundraiser benefit Westside, but it will also provide prizes for our students. They will have the chance to win some fun prizes or even be the "Principal for the Day"! The class that raises the most money will win a party of their choice. You may participate by scanning the QR code or visiting the website and entering our school code of 28112.
Thank you for always helping us to make Westside THE BEST! We appreciate you!
We ALMOST have 3rd graders! It was an exciting day for our 2nd graders. They visited U.S.Jones today and had a tour of their campus. They were super excited to meet their future teachers! They even saw a few familiar faces during their visit. Thank you, U.S.Jones, for such a welcoming visit!
While in the computer lab, students have been learning how to safely use technology devices. They have discussed what information they need to keep private. They enjoyed playing a memory game to reinforce personal information.
