REMINDER: Parent/Teacher Conferences are happening Monday, February 5, through Thursday, February 8. We hope to see you there! ✍️
This year, WPMS/HS started having "Motivational Mondays" to help inspire everyone in the building to start the week off with a positive attitude. Teachers were encouraged to find shirts to help spread the message. What a coincidence that Mrs. Borinski, Mrs. Lohr, and Mrs. Ambrose all found the same shirt and wore it on the same day! Now that's a positive message!
On a regular basis, the middle school language arts classes come to the library for lessons on Information Literacy. Mrs. Borinski, the Library Media Specialist, teaches them skills that will carry over into their everyday lives and will help them understand how to find correct information and what to do with it. On this day, she taught them about plagiarism and then they played a game to answer questions about what they learned.
Students in Ms. Bland's third grade class practiced making inferences using visual cues! Students were able to write on balloons, rather than paper to help make the writing process more engaging.
Students in the preschool classes learned about nursery rhymes through various math and literacy activities this week. Measuring and patterns were just some of the hands on learning experiences they had.
This February, we honor Black History Month and the impact of African Americans in literature, art, music, sciences, government, and countless other areas. Let's continue to celebrate, learn, and grow.
We're thrilled to announce the new app for West Point! It's

Kindergarten and 1st Grade Students were excited to use the parachute in LAMPS this past week. In honor of National Popcorn Day, students sang through echoes about how to make popcorn. The "popcorn" was sprinkled in the parachute and off went the popping! Students also enjoyed moving around with the parachute. We had so much fun!
Second through fifth grade students enjoyed reviewing rhythms in an engaging way this past week during LAMPS. First, they reviewed all the rhythm values. Next, they were assigned to a team for a relay game. The first person in each line slid on their sled (scooter) down to the end after they heard a rhythm. They earned points for getting the rhythm correct and an extra point if they came in first. Students enjoyed the competition!
Attention families! All WPPS students will be dismissed early tomorrow (January 24). ⏰
Starbucks day in Mrs. Foster and Mrs. Crowder’s 5th grade math class. Students worked with a Starbucks price menu to solve math problems with decimals. They earned a “latte” and a sweet treat for their teamwork and efforts!
Students in Mrs. Whitehurst’s 3rd grade class earn tickets during the week for completing their Daily Math Review and showing awesome Pointer Pride behavior! They then use those tickets to shop at the classroom store on Fridays!
West Point Elementary School SCA wanted to show their love for Mrs. Britt during Principal Appreciation Week. We are very lucky to have a principal that does so much for her students and staff. Thank you, Mrs. Britt, for being you and so much more!
