September is Attendance Awareness Month!

Every day at Westside is filled with opportunities to learn, grow, connect, and simply be part of something. From the classroom to the playground, from friendships to activities and everything in between, being at school matters.

We understand that illness and other circumstances sometimes require students to miss school. But whenever possible, regular, on-time attendance helps our students stay connected, keep learning, and make the most of every school day.

And if there’s one thing we hope our Warriors know, it’s this:

Your presence matters here. ❤️🤍

Every day matters. Every student matters. Every Warrior matters.
