April 2025 Parent Newsletter for Westside Consolidated School District
As you are aware, the national weather service is calling for a strong chance of severe weather tomorrow afternoon. Westside is monitoring these storms carefully for high winds, heavy rains, and possible hail. As the forecast starts to solidify tomorrow, we could possibly see early dismissal as an option as a means to safely get both students and staff home prior to the onset of severe weather. Please keep this in mind when deciding travel options for your students tomorrow. The safety of the Warrior student body and faculty are paramount for our district.
