Westside IA Selected as IWCS RISE Award Recipient

The RISE Award (which stands for Recognizing Inspirational School Employees) was created by Congress in 2019 to honor classified school employees, such as clerical, school nutrition, health, pupil transportation and custodial staff, who provide exemplary service to students and their communities. Virginia invites school divisions to submit a nominee from which two state-level winners will be selected to continue to the national level. This year, Isle of Wight County Schools selected Pam Piccinini as our RISE award nominee. Ms. Piccinini is an Instructional Assistant at Westside Elementary.

💥 REMIND IS BACK! 💥

Good Afternoon Westside Families!

We are excited to share that Remind is back! If you're not already familiar with Remind, it's a classroom communication tool that makes it easy to stay involved with your child's learning and events that are happening at school. Remind is free to use, and you'll be able to get and send messages on any device.

You should receive an email from Remind. All you need to do is follow the steps in the message to finish setting up your account. If you do not receive a message, please visit the Remind website and sign-in or create an account.

Here are two important codes that you will want to sign-up for immediately:

@wseseagles (Westside Elementary School) - This is the school's communication from the administrative team.

@wsesbuses (WSESBusRiders)- If your child uses school transportation, sign-up for this Remind communication to receive information about any bus changes, late pick-ups/drop-offs and anything else bus related.

Be on the lookout for a Remind code from your child's teachers. Sign-up to ensure you are staying informed.

​We're excited to being using Remind again this school year to make connecting with you easy and engaging!

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Isle of Wight County Schools is required by law to assess the needs of our school system in Title I, II and IV federal programs. A Title I, II and IV Needs Assessment survey is being made available to various stakeholders throughout the division, including employees, all parents, middle school and high school students, and community members to obtain feedback on perceived priorities that are either partially or fully funded by one of the previously mentioned grants.
As part of that assessment, the division needs your input to help plan and design these programs for next year. Please click the link below to complete a brief survey on the importance of various ideas and initiatives on your child's educational experience. The survey will close at 4:30 pm on Monday, April 24.
