Dear Families! I would like to remind you of our fun dress up week! Wear Red on Monday!
I would also like to ask for your help. Please DO NOT let your child bring toys or fidgets to school. These have become a great distraction to our learning. The teacher will remind the students to put them away and if a second reminder is needed, they will take it away and give it back at the end of the day. If your child needs a fidget to support their learning this is an arrangement that should be made between the teacher and the parent. Thank you for your help.
It has been a great week! Tomorrow - students should wear PE appropriate clothing. We will also have our first PAW rewards experience. We will start dismissal at 11:30. Thank you for all that you do! West is the BEST!
Have a WONDERFUL 4 day weekend Bulldogs! See you on Tuesday!
Hey West Families! WE have had a wonderful time getting to know your child! They are the best!! I just wanted to go over the afterschool pick-up procedures.
1. Whatever you put on your registration for PM pick-up is what we HAVE to do, unless you call before 1:30pm to tell us of a change. Call Taylor in the office, if you have questions.
2. Please do not block driveways as you wait and have your blue sign ready so we can move the line along more efficiently.
3. We will start to start sending students out at 2:30/11:30.
3. No cars are allowed in our parking lot before or after school. It is a safety issue. Please wait in line.
4. If you are walking to pick up your child, please go to the bottom gate. We will call your child to come meet you.
Thank you for your patience and giving us grace as we get this new school year started!

The staff has been busy reorganizing, moving classrooms, painting, and planning for the first day of school on Monday, August 30, 2021 for third grade and Tuesday, August 31, 2021 for fourth and fifth grade. As you travel by the school, you will notice murals at the end of hallways, street signs, and inspirational thoughts. Our goal this summer was to make the outside the building reflect the joy each and every person at West experiences on the inside. We hope it brings a smile to your child’s face!

Please continue to check our school Facebook and Website for all updated information.

In the 2019 Oregon Legislative Session, the legislators passed House Bill 3427, Student Success Act, and it was signed into law on May 20, 2019. This law aims to correct three decades of under investing in our schools and our children and includes sweeping provisions for new and improved services for children and families. Part of this Student Success Act is the Student Investment Account (SIA). The SIA is a non-competitive grant program which, when fully implemented, represents an investment of close to $500 million going directly to Oregon school districts and eligible charter schools. The purpose of the Student Investment Account is to meet students’ mental and behavioral health needs, increase academic achievement, and reduce academic disparities for historically underserved students. We would like your input on how to best utilize these funds in order to best serve the students and families in our community.

Good evening Parents,
Today (January 18, 2021) the Douglas Public Health Network informed us of a confirmed positive COVID-19 case at East Primary School. We are working closely with the Douglas Public Health Network to respond to this news and protect the health of our staff, students and community.
We have begun the process of notifying parents of the children in the cohort affected, asking them to quarantine for 14 days and monitor for symptoms. Out of an abundance of caution, we will be keeping all first grade students at home for Tuesday the 19th. (Not all first grade students are quarantined) In-person instruction will resume for the students and staff who are not in first grade classrooms.
We will continue to follow and maintain the Oregon Health Authority and the Oregon Department of Education guidelines; namely practicing handwashing, physical distancing to the degree we can, requiring people wear masks inside the building, and upholding cleaning and disinfecting protocols.
We understand families are concerned. We will keep families and the school community updated with any new information as it becomes available, while meeting the requirements to honor everyone's right to privacy.
If you have concerns or questions about COVID-19, please call the Douglas Public Health Network hotline at 541-464-6550, seven days a week between 8 am - 5:00 pm.
Terry Prestianni, Superintendent
