Principal's Message

Dear Westside Families, Friends, and Stakeholders,

We have so much to celebrate as we begin the 2025–2026 school year! Thanks to the hard work of our students, faculty, and staff, we are proud to announce that our school grade has improved—a true reflection of our shared commitment to excellence.

I am excited about what this new school year will bring for Westside Elementary! As always, student safety and achievement remain our top priorities, and we are thrilled with the progress our students continue to make. Our theme, which also serves as our guidelines for success, is S.O.A.R—Safety First, Only Kindness, Always Do Your Best, Respect Others and Yourself. Every day, we encourage our students to live by these values and soar to success!

Our dedicated faculty and staff are working diligently and intentionally to ensure every student has what they need to thrive. As we move forward, we invite all families and stakeholders to partner with us by participating in our School Advisory Committee (S.A.C.). Together, we can make a difference—because it truly takes a village!

I look forward to working with each of you as we continue the proud tradition of excellence at Westside Elementary.

Sincerely,

Dwayne Copeland, Sr.

Principal
