Westside Elementary School

From WES: Our 3rd and 4th grade students did a great job on the Science ATLAS Summative test today! We are proud of how hard they worked. Just a reminder that they will take the math summative on Tuesday, April 30, and the reading summative assessment on Tuesday, May 7. Both tests will be given in the morning. We need these students to arrive on time so they are able to test with their class and not get checked out until their test is complete. Once a student begins a test, they must complete it within that school day.

We will have a double bus route today. Bus 94 will run it's normal route and then return to pick up bus 79 students. Bus 79 students will leave the campus around 4:15 pm.

The Westside Elementary GT students had a field trip to the Museum of Discovery in Little Rock. They listened to presentations concerning chemical reactions and participated in a few themselves. They also visited the hands - on exhibits throughout the museum. It was a day full of fun and learning!

At Westside, we're not just educators; we're mentors, guides, and champions of learning. With our motto 'Committed to Learn...Committed to Lead', we instill a culture of lifelong learning and leadership in our students, empowering them to excel in their chosen fields and make a positive impact on the world.
