Across campus, our staff has been working diligently to ensure all students understand the behavioral expectations at school. On the K-8 campus, our PBIS team (PBIS = Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support) developed presentations and lessons to share these expectations with our students. We will continue to review and reinforce expectations all year long.

K-8 Back to School Night: Our K-8 Back to School Night is on Wednesday, August 23rd. To the best of our ability, we would like to keep this event distraction free by encouraging families to make this a non-student event. This will allow for teachers and families to connect in a distraction-free environment. For families that need supervision, our BASE program will be available to help, however, space is potentially limited. If you know that you will need childcare to attend this event, please CLICK HERE to RSVP for BASE as soon as possible so that we can properly prepare..

Walking School Bus: Join our daily Walking School Bus! The adult supervised walk departs from Burberry Park, Monday-Friday, rain or shine. Students can be dropped off between 7:45 and 8am to allow plenty of time to safely walk to our K-8 campus. Not only do families avoid and decrease congestion near campus, but students also earn points to use towards prizes. We need volunteers to walk and check students in near our campus entrances. Please email westlakew2s@jibe.org to get involved today!
