With Valentines day being on Wednesday, this is just a reminder that Westside Middle School will not accept any deliveries for students. All deliveries will be turned away at the office. The following is school board approved policy.
"Deliveries to students at all campuses within the district are forbidden and will not be accepted. This includes flowers, gifts, balloons, food, etc."

Congratulations to 6th grade student Alissa McManus. The GT students participated in the Williams Baptist University Story Store writing competition. Her story was selected and will be written in the script for the Spring Drama Performance. GT students will attend the play at the end of this month.


As we end this week, Westside Consolidated School District wants to give a BIG SHOUT OUT to all of our school counselors. This week was National School Counseling Week. Westside Elementary is proud to have both Tammy Romines and Amanda Etter showing their compassion and dedication while they create a safe learning environment for our "Little Warriors." Westside Middle School's Kelly Rider makes sure to encourage and listen to our students during some of the most challenging years of a student's life. Julie Tubbs and Carol little provide so much support, advice, and resources for students at Westside High School.
Thank you to all of our school counselors and to all school counselors everywhere. The impact that our counseling team have on our students every day is immeasurable and we cannot thank each of you enough for what you do!!!
