Dear Summerside Eagle Families,
It's the most wonderful time of the year! There is a sense of joy and drive at Summerside at all times with all Summerside Eagles doing an outstanding job taking great care of themselves, others, and our school and community in so many ways. One way is our annual PTO food drive which has been extended into next week to continue to serve and support our Summerside families this holiday season. See the flyer below for guidance on what to donate but please note, we will accept any donation, regardless of grade level designation.
As we head into this last week before the holiday break, know that we are still in full swing academically too. Students will continue to be involved in benchmark assessments to give us insight into their academic progress with their early literacy skills in kindergarten and first grade and their literacy and math skills in grades 2 - 5. Our teachers and students remain focused on keeping our students safe while learning, leading, and succeeding every day! Please see below for upcoming events, including festive spirit wear for the week ahead!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Courtney & Ms. Lowe
Grade-level newsletters will be updated every two weeks.

Our Core Values: Together We are, ON THE RISE. R-Relationship, I-Innovation, S-Student Centered, E-Empowerment
What a Safe, Supportive, Collaborative Culture Can Do for Students
Student-Centered Instructional Framework to Ensure Quality Teaching in Every Classroom
We are creating a courageous culture by focusing on our mission of committing to excellence with every learner, every day, every way. We strive to have a safe, caring, positive learning environment where all students have a sense of belonging.
Winter Weather and School Closings
As we move into wintertime, it is important for everyone to be prepared in the event we would have to close our schools due to weather issues. We encourage you to check out the article on our website entitled, "How Emergency Weather Decisions Are Made in West Clermont."
District-Wide Notification System Test
In addition, next week we will be conducting a district-wide test of our all-call and email notification system. On the evening of Tuesday, November 29th around 7 PM, we will send both a phone call and an email test notification to all West Clermont families. Our system will notify the student contacts that parents/guardians submitted during the annual re-registration process each summer. If you do not receive the phone call and/or email, or you wish to change the contact numbers on file for your student, please contact your child's school office.
Coming soon: An Updated WolfPack Hub!
This coming weekend, we will be launching an updated version of the WolfPack Hub on our district website. The WolfPack Hub is your "one stop shop" as a parent or guardian. It's where you will find information and the links to do things like:
Report absences
Pay fees
Look up your child's grades
In addition, you'll be able to:
Access the district calendar
View breakfast and lunch menus
Find the dates and times for school building events and activities
Get the links to various forms
Find resources in our community for families
...and much more!
When the new WolfPack Hub launches, you'll get to it at the same place you visit the current version: westcler.org/hub. When we return from Thanksgiving break, be sure to check out the new and improved WolfPack Hub!
REMINDER: Thanksgiving Break
There is no school for students tomorrow (Wednesday, November 23rd) through Friday (November 25th). School will resume on Monday, November 28th.
