Recently there has been an increase in safety concerns in the front parking lot during arrival and dismissal. In order to ensure our students safety, we will be blocking off access to the front lot from 8:45 am - 9:15 am and 3:00 pm - 3:40 pm beginning on Monday, October 3, 2022. Please allow yourself time to wait in the drop off line or park in the parking lot closest to the playground. Thank you for understanding as we work to provide the best educational experience in the safest environment.

We have an exciting night planned for Wednesday, November 2nd at West. We have our PTO Book Fair and our CW West Family Night scheduled. Please checkout our website/app for the attached information that should be coming home from school today with your child!

CW West Picture 📸 Day is next week! Come dressed to impress on Wednesday, September 28th. #WeAreWeiser

Today our students participated in an EVACUATE safety drill (aka a Fire Drill). The EVACUATE protocol is used if there is any safety risk and we need to take students somewhere other than our school building in order to keep them safe. The goal of an EVACUATE drill is to “get to another location”. Please remind your child that these drills are to ensure safety. As always, our primary goal is to keep your child(ren) safe and to keep you informed as a parent. Thank you.

Did you know that September 20th was National IT Professional Day! We could not do our job without the CW Technology Team! Here are some things you can do to honor our IT Pros today: 1. Treat your I.T. guy or lady to a cup of joe Think about how many times during a typical year you call your I.T. pro to come and help you fix something on your computer or to remotely control it to solve your issue. Once? 10 times? For us, it averages about a dozen times a year. So on this day, show your appreciation with a coffee-shop gift card or other small tokens. 2. Post on social media Use the hashtag #ITProDay to draw attention to the holiday — and the tireless computer geniuses it honors. Encourage your friends and online followers to do the same. 3. Try to solve a technical issue on your own... …Or at least think about what might happen if you were to. Do you see visions of irreparable damage? Permanently lost files? Weeks of work, down the drain? Notice that, and give a mental nod to the I.T. pros who prevent those disasters from happening. #ITProDay #WeAreWeiser

Starting today and running through Sunday 10/2 the CW West PTO will be hosting an online Spirit Wear Sale 👕 . Please see the attached flyer for design and order information. You can order at: http://rockhoundapparel.squarespace.com/cwwest
