All other bus routes are starting to load on campus at this time. All routes other than bus 77 will make adjustments to ensure they stay out of that area. Please understand if your student is getting home a few minutes later than normal.

Due to a law enforcement issue in Bono at School Street and Armour Street. Bus 77 will not run its route. Any parent of a child on Bus 77 will need to go to the school and pick your child up at their respective building.

❤️🤍 National Parent Involvement Day! ❤️🤍

At Westside, we know that when families and community are involved, students thrive. Whether you’re attending school board meetings, award assemblies, parent-teacher conferences, volunteering at school events, serving on a committee, or being part of a PTO — your involvement strengthens our Warrior community and supports every student’s success.

We are so thankful for our Westside Warrior parents, guardians, and community members who give their time, energy, and heart to support our schools.

From classrooms to the school board — and everywhere in between — you help make Westside strong! ❤️🤍💪

October Bus Driver of the Month: Mr. Ronnie Layne ❤️🤍

Mr. Ronnie has been a blessing to our transportation department over the last year and a half. He is always willing to go the extra mile—driving field trips, vo-tech, and faithfully running his daily bus route. Mr. Ronnie loves his kids and takes his job as a bus driver seriously. He always has a smile on his face, and safety is extremely important to him. Thank you for all you do and for getting our kids home safely each day.
Congratulations, Ronnie!
