48 Hours of FUN!

What an exciting 48 hours at West Side - Fall Festival, Blooper & QU Wedding in Kindergarten! It's been a jam packed two days filled with so much fun and joy! Thank you for your flexibility as we have managed some plumbing hiccups in the building last week and this week. The maintenance department responded quickly in both situations to get our restrooms up and running again. Yesterday's blockage was mostly caused by a tree root. This section of piping will be repaired soon. Repairs will require trenching the affected area (all pipes outside). Please refrain from walking or parking near the affected area marked with yellow caution tape. It will be important to maintain consistent routines and schedules in place as we head into a spooky Halloween weekend. Excitement will be brewing, so keep your days filled with engaging, rigorous instruction and your day planned to maximize every minute of instruction. PTA SILENT AUCTION STAFF RAFFLE!! PTA is giving away THREE FREE ...
