We want to give a HUGE shout out to our librarians, Mrs. Cote and Mrs. Messenger, for the leading our sock drive for the WAVE project! Pioneers donated over 102 pairs of socks at the Michigan Association of School Librarians conference!
Way to go Pioneers!

Today was our first day of Red Ribbon Week! Pioneers wore "mustaches" to get the week going & tomorrow is #SunglassesDay 😎. We had a special Monday Huddle for all students where they participated in prevention discussions, watched a relevant video, & were able to pledge to lead a drug and alcohol free life. Our RRW committee members met with Mrs. Jihan Young & Mrs. Bridget Lane, members of the City of Portage Human Services Board and Red Ribbon Week planning committee, to discuss their plans, ways to continue their work moving forward, and what they hope their classmates take away from this special week. Great meeting today with great takeaways!

Next week is Red Ribbon Week at West! Our RRW committee has planned a week of dress up days and will review the importance of being drug free. Monday's XTS huddle is dedicated to #RedRibbonWeek as well.
The week kicks off w/ "Mustache Day" on Monday!

While students are away, staff are busy learning today! From school psychologists to teachers and secretaries, staff across the District are learning new skills to better serve our students at Professional Development.
Happy Friday Pioneers!
Our staff is in professional development today gaining tools to bring back to the learning environment! In the meantime, check out some of the cool things that happened at West last week!

Enjoy your day off students! There is no school Friday for students. Staff will be attending professional development, but students can shut off those alarm clocks.
Today our 8th Grade Pioneers attended MiCareerQuest, "a unique career exploration experience." Our scholars had "the opportunity to learn about careers in our region's high-demand industries through interactive experiences with local employers."

Yesterday, Mr. Chappa's 6th grade students had the opportunity to build some reading stamina & experience new authors & genres through a fun learning experience called 'Musical Books' - think musical chairs, but everyone's a winner w/ a book to read!
