Summer Mode

Our website is in summer mode. The full site is still here, but this is the only page we’ll be updating over break; please check back from time to time for the latest news and announcements. As we get closer to the start of school, you’ll also want to watch for emails from the PTSO and posts on our socials, linked below. To join our mailing list and receive our email newsletter the Blue Jay Bulletin each week during the school year, click here. As always, feel free to reach out to us at westendptso@gmail.com with any questions.

Monday, August 8, is the first day of school.

Eighth Grade Graduation Photo Dump

Mr. Clark’s multimedia students took a LOT of photos of the eighth grade promotion ceremony on May 25. We’ve posted all of them here, unedited and unsorted. If you find a good one of your (former–sniff, sniff) Blue Jay, please feel free to download and share with family and friends.

The entire ceremony was also recorded and can be viewed here.
