Dear West Shore Families,
We’re entering a busy and exciting time at West Shore Middle School! Here are the important updates and events happening in the coming weeks.
STEM Careers Presentation: This week, our school counseling classes had the pleasure of welcoming Cindy Louis, a cardiothoracic surgery nurse, who shared her experiences in the medical field. She provided our students with valuable insights into the many career paths available in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) fields. Cindy’s visit inspired many of our students to explore STEM-related opportunities!
West Shore Middle School Handbook: Don’t forget to check out the West Shore Middle School Handbook for important information about our school’s policies, procedures, and course descriptions, including electives.
Scholastic Book Fair – Week of October 14th: Our annual Scholastic Book Fair is next week! This is a fantastic opportunity for students to find new books and foster a love of reading. Don’t forget to set up an ewallet for your child, so they can shop cash-free. More details can be found in the attached flyer.
Parent/Teacher Conferences – October 15th & 16th: Parent/Teacher Conferences are scheduled for next week. Please note the following important details:
- October 15th – Conferences will be held in the evening.
- October 16th – Conferences will be held during the day.
- Both days will have an early dismissal at 12:35 p.m. to accommodate conferences. Sign up now! Click here
This is a great opportunity to meet with your child’s teachers and discuss their progress so far this year.
High School Fair – October 22nd: For our 8th grade families, we will be hosting a High School Fair on October 22nd from 8:30 to 10:00 a.m. This event is an excellent chance for 8th graders to learn about different high school options and programs. Parents of 8th graders are invited to attend with their child to explore all the opportunities available for next year.
Marking Period End – October 31st: The end of the first marking period is approaching on October 31st. Grades will be viewable in the parent portal starting November 18th. This is a great time to review your child’s progress and check in on how they are doing as we head into the next part of the school year.
