Parent Weekly 4/21/23

4/21/23

Dear West Shore Families-

We were so lucky to have beautiful weather for spring break. This week we are back to seasonal temps. It was great to welcome back our students for the final push to the end of the school year! 

The 3rd semester report cards are viewable in Powerschool today and the students received their honor certificates in homeroom this morning so make room on the fridge to display their accomplishments! 

At the end of the year we recognize several adults who contribute to our school community and this year we are honoring Ms. Ashley Bua as Teacher of the Year, Ms. Ellen Connors as Paraprofessional of the Year and Mrs. Jade Ramos as our Parent of the Year.  All of these women do a lot for our school and work extremely hard to meet the needs of our student population.  Plus, they all help to make school a FUN place to be! Congratulations to all of you!

Next week we have an early release day on Wednesday for teacher professional learning. On Thursday students will be encouraged to wear blue for Autism Awareness month. 

On Saturday, May 20th at 12:30 WSMS will have a BMX show for bike safety. Please click here for the   full sized flier. We will be raffling off a SE Bike and there will be a limited number of bike helmets given away. Please save the date. We are so excited about this event! Thanks to Jade Ramos for helping me organize this. We are hoping this will be a fun, family event that you all can enjoy together. Students must be accompanied by an adult.
