Our Elders will be going on their annual camping trip the second week of school! We will be headed to East Lake Tues, 9/16 to Thurs, 9/18. Students should arrive to school at 8:15am on Tuesday morning so that we are ready to leave NO LATER than 9:00am. Our busses have to be back for their routes and cannot wait for late students.
Permission slips and an informational letter went home last week. The cost is $55 per student. Payment is due Friday, 9/12. Payments can be made in the office with card, cash or check or at friendsofwestside.com.
Medications need to be dropped off in the office no later than Monday, 9/15. We can’t accept medications the morning of the trip. Students are not allowed to carry any medications on their person unless they have a current Self Carry plan.
Goal Setting Conferences, 9/17-9/26
Westside Village starts off the school year with Goal Setting Conferences. These are student-parent-teacher conferences. Call the office to schedule if you haven’t already, or click here to find your student’s community sign-up.
Hearing Screenings
The school district conducts routine screenings to ensure the health of all Bend La Pine students. All kindergarten, 3rd grade and newly enrolled students will take part in routine hearing screenings the week of Sept 22nd. Please call or email Hilary Lahey to opt out your student or if you have any questions. [email protected] 541-355-6941 (Speech-Language Pathologist for WSV). Thank you!
Photo Opt-Out
During the school year we enjoy taking pictures of our students doing awesome things! These are used for school-only slide shows and sometimes to post on our social media pages. We never share names of students. If you wish that your student’s photo not be shared, please email Ms. Marcie or call the office.
