Westview Archery Team
It was a great day at the Carthage Archery tournament on Saturday. The team shot awesome in both events 3D and Bullseye. We had one young lady who got 3rd place in her division in 3D. Leela Slate shot a 225 out 0f 300. We are getting better and better.
Due to current road conditions and more expected weather, Westview will be utilizing our 2nd Virtual Day (AMI), tomorrow, Tuesday, January 31st.
Remember your child must follow the directions your child's teacher sent for AMI days. They must check in to all classes, complete, and return all work. If they do not then they will be counted absent.
Weather Update: I am monitoring the weather closely and will have another briefing around 12:30 or 1:00 to make final decisions. At this time, we are considering starting the bus route an hour early (2:30). I wanted to give everyone as much time as possible to make arrangements. I will send out another announcement after the weather briefing.
Let it Snow...Let it snow...Let it snow...SOMEWHERE ELSE!!
Students will be sent home with their Chromebooks/Tablets tonight JUST IN CASE we get the snow they are speculating on Tuesday. I want to make clear, we are planning on being in school, as normal, at this time but this is just a precaution in case we do have to cancel in person school due to weather on Tuesday and go to a virtual (AMI) day. Your child received Virtual Day (AMI) information in October with their schedule. Students must have contact with the teacher for each class, specials too, complete the work and send it back that day or as instructed by the teacher in order to receive credit for attendance. Please remember, Chromebooks and Tablets need to be kept charged and safe.
If there is a cancellation due to weather, I will send out a message as soon as I make that determination.
Kindergarten teacher, Rebecca Stevenson, applied for a grant through Donor's Choose to receive writing supplies for the classroom. Horace Mann donated the money to fully fund the project. The kindergarten classroom received new white boards, markers, highlighters, paint, and more!
Our "ride to school in a fire truck" winner was brought to school on the last day before Christmas break. Classes went outside to watch and welcome their arrival! Thank you to our Seneca Fire Dept. for making this possible! Looks like she had a blast!
The Westview Designs class is wanting to see if there is any interest from the public in purchasing a Westview t-shirt.
