West Louisville Elementary School

Welcome to September and some amazing fall-ish weather! We wrapped up MAP testing this week and we are very proud of the students for their hard work and achievements! I”d like to say an extra special "Thank You!" to all of our families for helping with that success by having your children here on time, well rested, and ready for a great day!
Looking ahead, we have several fun events coming up starting with Grandparent's Week! We hope to enjoy spending time with many visitors throughout next week as we celebrate our Grandparents each day at lunch! Next week is also our Book Fair, so we hope your students are ready to shop! Fall Festival is also right around the corner, so watch for announcements about the exciting games, auction items, and food! Don't forget to pre-order your bracelets so you can skip the line that night! Just $5/student!
Have a great weekend and good luck to any deer or turkey hunters that may be heading out to hunt this weekend!---Mr. Stone

Please take a few minutes to read over our Paws and Reflect Newslettter for September.

Thank you all for an amazing first 14 days of the school year! The students are doing so great at getting back into the routine of school and they are working hard to earn Pawsitive Performers.

Happy Friday! It looks like there is a fabulous weekend ahead to get outside and enjoy some fresh air! My family will be heading over to the Frog Follies Car Show in Evansville to check out some neat historic cars and trucks. Our first 9 days of school have been amazing with our first Monday Meeting taking place. we are going to celebrate birthdays each week on Mondays in the gym and then students will be celebrated in their classrooms as well. For our Positive performers, we are celebrating them daily in the office, displaying their pictures on the TVs in the front lobby and posting them on the school facebook page. If you don’t already follow our school, make sure to like and follow so you don’t miss out on the exciting moments happening at wles! next week we will begin map testing, so please make sure your child comes to school well rested and ready to try their very best. We use these results to help us focus on student needs, create small groups, and identify our high achieving students. please help us by encouraging your child to take their time, work hard, and show us what they really know! Let’s have a great week tigers!! - Mr. Stone, Principal

West Louisville Elementary school is such a magical and special place!!I am so excited how the school
year has started and how smoothly the students have returned to school. The support from the
families and the community has been so amazing as the new leader of the building. I am confident that
we are going to have an absolutely amazing school year! we are excited to take this road trip
together and we know that all roads lead to success. Just a reminder that the school day does begin
