End of day Transportation

Please remember that students cannot ride any other bus other than the one they are scheduled to ride. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

The form is open 4pm to 9:30 am daily. Please note that the last pickup for the school day is 2:45pm due to parking lot congestion with cars and busses. Please try to make it before 2:45pm, we appreciate your cooperation.

If you are going to pick your student up from school at the end of the day, you will need to fill out the Elementary Transportation Form with that information. You can find the form on the Elementary webpages under the "menu" icon and parent resources. Just look for the "Elementary Transportation Form," fill it out, and hit submit. We will no longer be accepting any paper requests. https://forms.gle/LtqvuWhWytsniVkf7

Please make sure the form you are using has 22-23 school year at the top.

You will use this form for end-of-day transportation, as well as early release from the school. If you have any questions, please contact colleen.clucas@westg.org, and she can assist you.

Electronics in school

Please make sure that if your child is bringing a cell phone or electronic watch to school that it is turned off during the day. Watches can be used for time purposes only during school hours. If these rules are abused the devices will be confiscated and will need to be picked up by the parent at the school office. If students need to contact parents during the day they can come to the school office for assistance. Thank you for your cooperation.

Wonderful Wonderbooks in the Library

The library has had a few Wonderbooks (audio and print book combined) returned damaged. Water and books don't make a good combination, especially water and Wonderbooks. The pages get warped and the audio system breaks. These books are roughly $60. Mrs. Murry will let students know upon check out that they should be extra careful with the special books, and will be responsible for any damages. Thanks for helping to keep these books stocked in our library.

Opt out of Wonderbook usage-https://forms.gle/qsABRzfjJ6KCG6DM9

Dress for the weather

The seasons are changing. One day it's cold then hot, then raining and even snow is around the corner. Please make sure that your child is dressed appropriately. Everything students bring to school should be marked with their first and last name in case they get misplaced so we can return them to their owner. We appreciate your help with this. Students go outside when it's cold, so warm clothes are essential. If your child needs snow pants, boots, a hat, and/or gloves, please let the office now. We have extras on hand we can loan out for the season to stay at school.

School Dress Code:
