Westside Middle School

A big THANK YOU to Gamble Home Furnishings for giving back to our community!

Emily and Lance, members of the Gamble Marketing Team, stopped by Westside Middle School to deliver backpacks from their Backpack Drive. We are so thankful for local businesses like Gamble that support our schools and students!🙌❤️🤍

Athletic Mandatory parent meeting will be Thursday 8-13-26 / 5:30pm in the FAC.
IF YOU ATTENDED FOOTBALL MEETINGS, YOU WILL NOT NEED TO ATTEND

WMS is excited to welcome our students back tomorrow! Just a couple of reminders:
1. Drop off/doors open at 7:25. We know the first few days will take longer than normal due to increased traffic. No tardies will be taken during this beginning time.
2. Car rider line in the afternoon can begin lining up at 2:30 pm. We will start dismissing at 3:10 pm. Again, due to the volume of traffic on the first few days, this process will take longer than normal. We appreciate your patience.
3. Bus pick up and drop off at home will take longer these first few days.
4. The weather is forecast to be hot. We will most likely be inside for recess. Also, we have water bottle filling stations in every hallway if students wish to bring a water bottle to school. These are for water only. No other drinks are allowed in them.
5. Please make sure your student knows how they are getting home. The best way to communicate that with us is to send a note with the student tomorrow.

It's going to be a great year!
Mr. Allen

At the conclusion of that meeting, you will be dismissed to the 5th grade classrooms to meet their homeroom teacher and to receive a paper copy of their schedules. We also encourage students to get the locks from their lockers and take them home to practice. The locker number and combination is listed on their schedule.

Calling All Future 5th Grade Band Members!

Are you an incoming 5th grader interested in joining the Westside Middle School Band? Be sure to stop by the Middle School Cafeteria during Open House on Tuesday, August 4, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. to try out different instruments!

This is a great opportunity to explore your options, meet the band directors, and discover the instrument that's right for you. We can't wait to welcome our newest musicians to the Warrior Band family! 🎺🥁🎷🎵

Westside Consolidated School District extends a heartfelt thank you to Swept Away for their generous donation of school supplies following this year's Stuff the Bus event.

Because of their kindness and commitment to supporting local students, many Warriors will begin the school year with the supplies they need to be successful. We are incredibly grateful for businesses like Swept Away that continually invest in our schools and make a positive impact throughout our community.

Thank you, Swept Away, for helping our students start the school year prepared and for being such a valued supporter of Westside and our community. ❤️🤍
