I hope everyone had a wonderful summer with their families: relaxing, resting, beaching, grilling, swimming, boating, biking (and maybe even reading!) I had a fantastic summer on Nantasket Beach, reading several books, playing with my dog Gracie and visiting my family in Maine! I have also been busy hiring at West - we have many new staff members to welcome to the West team for 2019-2020. In addition to this weekly Blog, I will also be sending out a weekly electronic news bulletin to families - there will be no more monthly "West Way" publication.
We have many important dates coming up very quickly:
- Monday, August 26th, our annual "Ice Cream Social" at 6:00 PM! Thank you so much to our fantastic PTA for organizing and funding this annual event for us!
- Tuesday, August 27th: The West teachers and faculty return to school! Dr. Maestas will have his dynamic "Opening Day" celebration to welcome the Plymouth Public Schools faculty back in the morning.
- Wednesday, August 28th: The first day of school for grades 1-5! I cannot wait to see all of our Westies back on campus! We also have new Kindergarten orientation for our new kindergarten students and parents at 9:30.
- Thursday, August 29th: First day of school for Kindergarten students! Welcome to the class of 2032!
- Friday, August 30th and Monday September 2nd: NO SCHOOL! Happy Labor Day!
- Tuesday, September 3rd: School Reopens
The first PTA meeting for the new school year will be held on Tuesday September 10th at 7:00 PM at West. Additionally, if you wish to join our West School Council (we welcome new membership) we will be meeting also on Tuesday, September 10th at 6:00 PM at West Elementary.
