I have a student in the 5th grade and everytime there is an event or a trip it seems that the teacher have a bad habbit of not giving the students all the information that they need, so the parents can schedule ex: Saturday School, my son had to go saturday school, and no one told him where to go if he had to wear his uniform that day, or if he had a parent that works on saturday how he is to get to the location, this informaiton is important you think?
This is my son's first year at West and so far so good. I think we lucked out because his 4th grade homeroom teacher from Highpoint as well as the principal from Highpoint began leading at West this year and he has the same homeroom teacher from Highpoint at West. I was relieved that the principal from Highpoint moved to West because she's always attentive to her staff, the kids, and the parents. On my recent visit (just this past Wednesday) I'd signed in at the principal's office to visit with the cafeteria staff to pay my son's lunch account. At every corner of the hallways I was greeted and or acknowledged by a teacher. I was impressed and extremely happy that my son is very safe and cared for in this school. Highly recommend West.
I am quite concerned as a parent that two of my children attend West this year, and they have had excessive homework since the very beginning of school and are getting very little sleep in order to complete it. The disheartening part was that all of the teachers shared the same response. That being that they have a set amount of information to 'get out to the students according to the State Regs', but don't have enough time in school to get it taught. Thus the excessive homework.
This is my daughter's first year at this school as a 6th grader and so far I am extremely happy with the overall feel of the school. From the office administration that is overly helpful to the teachers and their communication. Coming from JWI last year this is a very needed improvement! Definitely recommend!!
