Happy Thursday Pioneers!
Please take a look at these parking lot guidelines for student drop-off and pick-up. By following these guidelines, we are all ensuring the safety of our Pioneers as they enter and leave West each day.
Thank you for your support!

PIONEERS!
Open House is this Tuesday from 6 - 7:30pm. This is every student's opportunity to receive a paper copy of your schedule, find your classrooms, meet staff, decorate your locker, and more!
We will have a few food trucks/vendors on site, so come with an appetite. This is a community event! Everyone is welcome!
Our PTSO is also hosting a Silent Auction during the Open House as a fundraiser. We currently have 26 packages that will be auctioned and still growing!
We look forward to seeing our Pioneer community as we welcome our scholars back and prepare for the first day of school.
See you on the 19th!
