Volunteer Tea 

It was great to have so many volunteers join us in appreciation for all you do at West Springs.  For those of you not able to attend, thank you for your contributions this year.  Thank you all very much, your time and care is appreciated! 

Moon Balls 

We have had an increased number of moon ball challenges at recess as of late.  Including bystanders being hit by the balls and a number of them landing on roof that results in hurt feelings and some peer to peer conflicts.  As the school does provide playground equipment for all students to use during these recess times, we ask that all personal moon balls stay at home.  We thank you for your understanding.  

2026-27 Homeroom Placement  

As we begin planning for the upcoming school year, we would like to share some important information about how class lists are created. Class placement is a thoughtful and ongoing process that involves collaboration among our teaching staff and administration. Our teachers use their in-depth knowledge of students’ academic, social, and emotional needs to build well-balanced classes that support the success of all learners. Many factors are considered, including:  

  1. Learning styles  
  2. Individual strengths  
  3. Peer dynamics  
  4. Overall class composition  

Because of the complexity and care involved in this process, we are unable to accommodate specific requests for teachers, classmates, or classroom placements. We appreciate your understanding and trust in our professional judgment.  Class lists will be finalized over the summer, and you will find out your child’s placement when school begins in the fall.
