- Create a time capsule
Curriculum Materials and Chromebook Pick Up:
For Grades 1-6: Monday, August 17th
For TK and K, Individual appointments with the child's teacher on Tuesday, the 18th or Wednesday, the 19th.
- In order to maintain distancing, the following schedule has been created.
- Please remain in your car and bring a pen to sign paperwork that will need to be signed for chromebook pick up.

First Week: West Side understands that returning to school via distance learning is new and we are here to assist! Teachers will be taking time to "train" parents and students on accessing sites and answer questions regarding Distance Learning. Just a reminder that schedules are posted on our website under the Parent Tab, then select Distance Learning Schedules.
Principal Chat: Coffee and Conversation: West Side will continue with the tradition of hosting a monthly principal chat. Our first one will be about the start to the new year, distance learning, and how we can support families. Our first one will be held on August 27 from 6:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. The zoom information is

Any questions, please call Susanne Esquivel in the office at 433.4293 or email [email protected].
During Distance Learning, please note the following changes:
-
Meals are only available for those West Side students who qualify for free and reduced-price lunches.
-
Families must order each morning by 9:00 a.m. by calling the office.
-
Families are responsible for picking up lunches between 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m.on school days. Students do not need to be present.
It's a busy time of year, and we appreciate your patience as we navigate a new way of beginning the school year.
We hope you enjoy the weekend, and please contact us if you have any questions.
Warmly,
