Mark your calendar for the 3rd annual Back to School Bash at South Middle School on August 13 from 12-3pm. See the flyer for all the details!

Last week after our early release assembly we had a fun end-of-year transition event where students visit their future classrooms, meet new teachers and get a sneak peek of the grade ahead to reduce anxiety and build excitement. We also had a couple of middle school students here to chat with 5th graders about what is next after elementary school.




This week we celebrate our staff! You wish you were a Jaguar! Congratulations to the West High boundary Educators and Employees of the Year, Retirees and milestone veterans. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1E39MoGkCn/
Join us for our LAST Dine to Donate Fundraiser this school year at Tropical Smoothie Cafe on May 12th from 4-9pm. Please see our flyer for all the details.

These 1st grade students worked with their table partners to decode four different messages. Each message contained clues they had to figure out in order to know where to go next. Once they successfully decoded all of their messages, we set off on a treasure hunt based on the directions they uncovered. This activity connected to our early world civilizations unit, as students explored how people in the past communicated using symbols and coded writing.
