West View Elementary will have picture day Wednesday, September 9th in the morning! You can order pictures via the form sent home in your child’s folder this past week or the flyer below.

🌟 RECORD-BREAKING NEWS! 🌟

Our annual Cinco de Mayo Carnival was a HUGE success this year bringing in over $9,000… the most EVER!

We are beyond grateful for our incredible community, families, and staff who showed up, supported, and made this event so special. West View may be a small school, but it is overflowing with love, generosity, and Wildcat pride!

Because of YOU, these funds will go directly back into our school through supporting classroom supplies, student programs, and extracurricular activities that help make learning even more meaningful and fun for our students.

Thank you for continuing to show that when we come together, amazing things happen! 💛🐾💜

Once a Wildcat, Always a Wildcat!!

Today, we had the honor of welcoming back our graduating Class of 2026 Seniors for a very special Senior Stroll through the halls of West View! Seeing these former Wildcats return to where their journey began was such a meaningful moment for our students and staff.

Our current Wildcats lined the halls with cheers, smiles, and words of encouragement as they celebrated the accomplishments of these seniors and looked ahead to their own futures. It was especially heartwarming to see a few of our graduates reunite with their kindergarten teacher, who is still making a difference here at West View today!

We are so proud of the amazing young adults these students have become and grateful that West View will always be a part of their story. Congratulations Class of 2026, your Wildcat family is cheering you on every step of the way! 💜 🎓🐾💛
