Happy Thanksgiving!!

 It was a busy week, but we are gobbling into Thanksgiving Break with our minds, bellies, and hearts full.  Minds - Successful SOR week learning about sentence expansion, fragments, and sentence types Bellies - In two days our amazing nutrition staff served nearly 900 meals of turkey and all the fixins'.  PTA provided an extra special, super yummy chili lunch that came at just the right time.   Hearts - Our Kindergarten Stingers showed all the knowledge they have learned about Thanksgiving, traditions, and turkeys to a packed auditorium.  Hundreds of families and friends joined their students to share a meal and enjoy the company of classmates at our Thanksgiving feast. We celebrated birthday(s) for some special Stinger staff members.   We hope you have a wonderful time with family and friends, both near and far.  While the break will likely fly by, we hope you take a moment to reflect on the incredible work you are doing, the impact you have on students, and how YOU make West Side

Thank you, Veterans!

  Bravo to our 3rd grade students, Singing Stingers & Mrs. McCutcheon for a wonderful Veterans Day program!  Thank you for your flexibility in adjusting your schedule for the program or parade.  Our Veterans and special guests greatly appreciate this day of celebration. Next week will be BUSY as we prepare for Thanksgiving break!!  Remember the importance in maintaining consistent routines and procedures in the classroom.  Maximize your instructional time to ensure you are able to provide students with time to master content and standards for Quarter 2.  When we return from Thanksgiving break, we have just 17 instructional days until the end of Quarter 2.  Every day, every minute matters!! QUARTER TWO PROGRESS REPORTS,  DUE 11/16 Review the email sent by Carla with Q2 Progress Report timelines and templates.   All progress reports should be emailed to families  by 11/16 . Complete  Q2 Progress Report record   by 11/17  indicating students who received a progress report. SOR WEEK, 1
