West Louisville Elementary School

Thank you all for making our Fall Festival a HUGE success! We raised over $6000 for our PTO and had loads of fun with our family and community in the process. Up next, we have our Family Curriculum Night this coming Tuesday! We hope you will join us for a free meal, along with a chance to learn about Title 1 Funding, SEL, Arts Classes, and what the day-to-day curriculum looks like for your child. Just two more weeks until Fall Break and the end of the first 9 weeks! Let's work hard to finish the first quarter strong!
**Just a reminder that PICTURE DAY is MONDAY!!!**

First Ever City - County Race
Next Tuesday, September 30 @ 5:45 PM @ Yellow Creek Park
Please see the attached flyer for more details including cost, ages eligible, and registration information.
This race is open to all elementary students in Daviess County in OPS, DCPS, homeschool & private schools.

Thank you for a great 4-day week of school! Don't forget that tomorrow is a PD Day for teachers and a day off for students. Tonight is our Fall Festival, so we hope to see everyone come out and enjoy a perfect night together with your Tiger Family. There will be food, games, inflatables, a hay ride, and a silent auction. Remember it only costs $5/student to enjoy all of the games and inflatables. Next week we will be back to work for our last 15 days of instruction before Fall Break. We will be starting our WIN time groups next week as well. These groups are intentionally focused instructional groups that will help us meet the needs of all students in a more precise setting. We can't wait to start down this next road of our journey to success!
Have a great weekend!
