West Louisville Elementary School

Happy Fall Break, Tiger Family! I hope this message finds you planning some time to enjoy your family and get some rest over the next week. Whether you are traveling or just staying home, I hope you find joy and laughter each day. My family will be staying home and enjoying some time hunting, fishing, and racing RC trucks and then ending the week with the DCHS marching band. As we move into the 2nd 9 weeks, we have a lot of great events coming up to partner with our families and community! We hope to see everyone out for our Parent/Teacher Conferences, Trunk or Treat, Veterans Day Celebration, and other events as we get closer to the holidays. Check out the rest of the newsletter for all of the details. We'll see you back on October 20th!

Have a Great Week!

Good Monday Morning! Students are moving right along down the path of success, meeting and exceeding our ROARS Expectations to be RESPONSIBLE, ORGANIZED, ACCEPTING OF OTHERS, RESPECTFUL, and SAFE. Students have already earned 111 PAWSitive Performers this first quarter. Our Tigers are amazing!

Check out our Paws and Reflect newsletter for more information from our PBIS and SEL departments.

What a great week our tigers have had at school! The students have been hard at work this week learning about reading, math, science, social studies and so much more! As we approach the end of the nine weeks, we will be entering grades and wrapping up loose ends. This is a great time to make sure any missing registration or immunization forms are returned and turn in any doctor excuses for absences. Thank you all so much for an excellent start to the school year!

Tiger Family,
Thanks to everyone who was able to come out and take part in our curriculum night! Congrats to Jerome Pruden and Grayson Cattoor for winning our Family Fun Movie Night baskets. If you missed curriculum night, please see the attached flyer for information on the curriculum we are using here at WLES! If you have any questions, please reach out!

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!!!**

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!
