Loved finding this little surprise in the freezer today after school! Huge kudos to Mom for staying strong with the first day cookie tradition. And being the most supportive throughout my student, and now teacher, years! ❤️🍪👩🏼🏫
Our 2020-21 school year begins tomorrow. We are ready. Days 9 and 10 will be better than Days 1 and 2. Please be patient and supportive as our teachers and building level staff adjust as needed. Together, we can continue to navigate these tough times. #WeAreWestside
Attention incoming 7th graders & families! Watch your email THIS FRIDAY for a special Virtual Orientation! PREVIEW what your students will learn and experience in person at Warrior Walkabout in August. We can't wait to welcome a new class to @WestsideMiddle! #WeAreWestside
Westside leads. Westside students are amazing in the classroom, on the stages, fields, and courts of competition, and throughout our community. Elise Smith is amazing and we are so proud she is a Westside Warrior! #WeAreWestside
