12/1/2023 Parent Update

Important 1:1 Computer Program Information for the 2024-2025 School year below -

  • At the October 9th, 2023 School Board meeting, the Board voted to allow the Technology Department to seek bids for Chromebooks to be purchased for the 2024-2025 School year 1:1 Computer Program. Pending Board approval on the bids, all grades (5-8) at the middle school level will be provided a school-issued Chromebook for their day-to-day school work for the 2024-2025 school year.
  • We know that the holiday season in the past has been a good time to look for deals on laptops to be used for the BYOD program, so we wanted to make sure to get this announcement out to you prior to holiday season. In short, please do not purchase new laptops for your incoming middle school student(s), of any grade, 5-8.
  • For more information and updates on the program please visit THIS SITE

Safety & Security Update:

We have had some safety concerns with students staying after school unsupervised. Students are not to remain in the building after school, unless they are participating in a club or sport, or if they are meeting with a teacher directly after school. Please ensure that your child understands these rules. Thank you for helping us keep ZWest safe and secure.

Math Tutoring has been postponed until further notice.
