Welcome friends! Listed below are the ways we will communicate and learn throughout the 2022-23 school year.  Don't worry, I will help you every step of the way!

Website: Each teacher at our school has a classroom website.  You can find us by going to www.wcde.org and clicking on West View under the schools tab.
