October 16 Announcement:
As a result of the county being moved to Level 3 Red on the Covid Rating system, parent teacher conferences for October 22nd and October 27th will not be face to face. Your child’s teacher will be in contact with you to discuss your preference of a phone conference or a Google Meet.

Students will be allowed to bring their masks for their costumes to wear during their party but due to safety concerns, props will not be allowed.
There will be a meeting for any 5th grader interested in joining band on Tuesday, October 20th @ 7:00 p.m. The meeting will be held at West Union High School in the round room.
West Union Elementary is kicking off our yearly fundraiser. In the past this program sent booklets home to be filled out and returned to school. This has been replaced with an online system. See information below.
This safe and easy fundraiser is 100% online so there is no face-to-face selling, collecting money, or delivering products. Participation only takes 12 minutes and your child will win fun and exciting prizes. Every student will receive a prize, just for participating. More prizes will be rewarded when goals are reached.
Please help now. It really will make a difference.

We will also have a brief Title 1 and parental involvement plan revision meeting on September 9th at 4 p.m. in the library for anyone interested in attending.
