West Shore Middle School

4/28/23

Dear West Shore Families-

It was a quiet week here at WSMS. On Wednesday we had an early dismissal for staff professional learning. We are continuing to focus on high quality instructional practices and each department has been working on a different focus area. On Thursday the kids had fun wearing blue for Autism Awareness month. 

We are also prepping for the administration of the Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA). This will begin next week with our math assessments. Please make sure all students come to school with their Chromebooks charged so they will be able to access the testing platform. 

This week Mr. Hayes and I attended the Board of Alderman meeting where Dr. Cutaia presented the school budget and why we need every dollar! She did an amazing job and I felt that the presentation was well received. Next week we are hoping they will vote to reinstate the funds that were cut by the Board of Finance.
