Dental Screening 9/19
Advantage Dental will be at our school this Thursday, September 19th to provide dental services free of charge. Consent forms came home with students and they are available in the office. If you do not wish to have your student screened, there is no need to complete the form. ONLY students that bring back a completed form asking for services will be screened/serviced.
Goal Setting Conferences 9/19-9/27
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.
Picture Day is 9/27
Smile! Dorian Studios will be at our school for fall pictures on Friday, September 27th. All students will be photographed. Order forms went home and are available in the office, or you can order online. Find more information HERE.
iPad Insurance (6th – 8th)
iPad insurance (6th-8th graders) can be paid online by going to the district website Parent Tools page and clicking FEES AND FINES. Username is your Student’s 6 digit ID number and password is your Student’s last name (Upper case first letter). The cost is $30 per school year and there is a family cap of $60. Payment can also be made by cash, check or card in the office. iPad insurance is not required, but strongly encouraged. Insurance cannot be purchased after an iPad is damaged. iPad insurance does not cover a lost iPad.
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.
When to Keep Your Student Home
As cooler weather approaches we can expect a rise in illnesses. Please click here to familiarize yourself with health information and the district’s guidelines for keeping students home when sick. Some common guidelines to know are:
Fever: Temperature equal to or greater than 100.4 ° F orally.
