REMINDER - In honor of the Labor Day holiday, CPS will be closed on Monday, September 5th. "Before the reward, there must be labor. You plant before you harvest. You sow in tears before you reap joy." Ralph Ransom Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers. It was created by the labor movement in the late 19th century and became a federal holiday in 1894. This weekend, as we spend time with our families and friends, celebrate the value of an honest day's work, the people who built America, and our nation's advancements because of the American labor force. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Huge Celebration! CF Industries recently provided an EXTREMELY generous contribution of $20,000 to Westside Elementary students and teachers! The contribution will be used in intentional efforts to provide new academic opportunities to all Westside learners. Our students will have the ability to grow in ways that simply would not be afforded otherwise. This grant/financial gift is greatly appreciated by our entire educational community. Westside wants to thank CF Industries for contributing to the future of our children.

We heard your feedback on the need to streamline platforms for communication. Say "hello" to ROOMS located in our mobile app. ONE platform for ALL TEACHERS and COACHES district-wide. No more creating an account on multiple apps for multiple students in the district. You will find it on one app from HS to Pre-K, band to football. Here is a sneak peek... https://youtu.be/jG0-D4JCVaA
