Westside will hold parent-teacher conferences from 3:30 - 8:00 PM on Thursday, March 14, and from 3:30 - 7:30 on Thursday, March 21.
Conferences will be by appointment. Please watch your child's folder for a sign-up form coming home from their teacher. Please fill it out and return it right away.
Any questions please call our school office or contact your child's teacher.
Spring Break will run from Monday, March 25 through Friday, Marc h 29. School will resume on Monday, April 2. We hope you enjoy the week off from school!
Flooding and winter weather has forced the cancellation of 12 school days plus two hours, causing the district to be out of compliance with the required minimum hours of instruction by the State of Wisconsin.
Although the district's traditional school calendar includes a significant surplus of hours, we have recently fallen below the required time. To make up for the lost instructional time, the Board of Education approved on Monday, February 18, the following adjustment to the 2018-2019 Student Calendar:
- Beginning March 1st, Early Dismissal on Fridays will be discontinued for the remainder of this school year.
- Friday, March 22 originally scheduled for Parent-Teacher Conferences will become a full school day for students in K-12.
- All 4K students (morning, afternoon, and Head Start) will make up time by attending class on the following Fridays – March 8, 15, and 22. In addition, district 4K students (not in Head Start) would also attend on the following Fridays – April 5, 12, and 26.
With the adjustments to the calendar, the district is adding some surplus time. Please be prepared that if more time is lost and the district falls below the required hours, classes may be held on days beyond June 11th.
If you have any questions, please contact your child’s school.

Read Across America 2019
Read Across America is an annual reading motivation and awareness program that calls for every child in every community to celebrate reading on March 2, the birthday of beloved children's author Dr. Seuss. Westside is celebrating this event the entire month of March. We will have special dress up days every Friday. The dress up days are as follows:
Friday, March 1 - Pajama Day celebrating "Dr. Seuss's Sleep Book and "I Am Not Going to Get Up Today!"
Friday, March 8 - Wacky Socks day celebrating "Fox in Socks" or "Wacky Wednesday" (even though it's Friday!)
Friday, March 15 - Wear your favorite hat to celebrate "The Cat in the Hat", "The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins", or "Daisy Head Maisie".
Friday, March 22 - Dress up as your favorite character from any Dr. Seuss book!
A Dr. Seuss Bingo sheet was sent home with all students. Once students have completed a row, they can bring in their sheet to receive a prize. Students will also be voting on their favorite Dr. Seuss book. Students can also take part in a trivia activity. Students can answer the trivia questions and submit them to the library. The three students with the most correct answers will receive a prize.

The Kwik Trip Milk Moola Program is coming to an end. This program supports our school by reimbursing us five cents for each Milk Moola label or cap that is submitted to their company. Our last submission must be postmarked by March 31, so please submit any labels or caps to the school by March 20. This gives the PTO members time to count them and get them ready to mail in. Thank you for your support of this program.
