Dear West Shore Families,
We are heading into an important stretch of the school year, and there is a great deal of positive energy throughout the building as we continue to support our students in finishing strong. Thank you, as always, for your partnership and support.
Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA) Begins Next Week
Our SBA testing window begins next week. It is very important that students arrive to school on time each day and come prepared with a fully charged Chromebook. Being present and ready helps students feel confident and do their best. We appreciate your help in reinforcing these routines at home.
Drama Club – Frozen Jr.
Our Drama Club is excited to present Frozen Jr. on May 7th and May 8th at 7:00 PM. We look forward to a fantastic performance and hope to see many of you there supporting our students. Donations for concessions and raffle baskets are still being accepted—thank you to all who have already contributed.
Middle School Art Show
We are proud to showcase our students’ creativity at the upcoming Middle School Art Show at the Parsons Complex in Milford. The show opens on May 5th and will be on display throughout the month. We hope you’ll take some time to stop by and enjoy the impressive artwork created by our talented students.
Teacher Appreciation Week – PTA Celebration
Teacher Appreciation Week is right around the corner, and our PTA has planned an exciting week with a fun 90’s theme to celebrate our staff. If you are interested in contributing, please consider signing up to donate items using the link shared by the PTA (Sign Up HERE! ). We are grateful for your support!
8th Grade Families – Jonathan Law Athletics Open House
Jonathan Law High School will be hosting an Athletics Open House for incoming 9th graders. This is a great opportunity for students and families to learn more about the athletic programs and opportunities at the high school.
