STI Parent Portal

Parents can view grades, attendance, and more just by the click of a button using the STI Parent Portal.  STI is the computer software company used by virtually all Alabama public schools.  This software allows schools to manage students' grades, attendance, behavior, and print numerous reports.  Parents also have access to this data but only certain parts that would be of parental benefit.  You need your child's user name and password, in which I can easily provide for you.  The link to the STI Parent Portal is listed at the bottom of this page under Important Links. 

K-2 Christmas Luncheon

The K-2 Christmas Luncheon will be on December 8th.  Parents' scheduled time to eat with the children will be at the same time each grade level eats lunch.  Each visiting parent must have a signed form on file with the cafeteria staff to ensure an accurate count.  Please be considerate of available parking.  Do not block incoming traffic.  Please do not park in No Parking zones, as this can create serious problems.  Enjoy the meal and fellowship.  The cost per meal is $5 for parents. 

Pictures with Santa

WES students will be able to take pictures with Santa again this year.  The pictures cost $4 each.  Students will take pictures with Santa immediately after each of the two Christmas Programs on December 12th and 13th.  There will not be a photography company involved.  We will do everything in-house just like last year.  The pictures will be developed at Walmart and bordered with a festive Christmas design.  We will give the photos to the students before they leave for Christmas Break.  The proceeds will go towards PTA activities. 

WES Christmas Programs

Our Christmas program was split into two separate programs and moved to regular school hours to accommodate children who otherwise would not be able to participate.  We were having a hard time getting permission forms back, causing many deserving students not to be able to participate.  Moving the program to the regular school day created another problem:  We don't have the space to accommodate such a large crowd with numerous parents and the whole school in the cafeteria at one time.  Therefore, dividing the program made more sense.  I apologize in advance for any inconveniences this may cause for some parents' work schedules.  The program schedule will be as follows:
K-2 Christmas Program on December 12th
3-5 Christmas Program on December 13th

Both programs will begin around 8:45am in the cafeteria.

Home of The Tigers

The Westview Elementary mascot is the tiger, one of the most fiercest animals on the planet.  It is widely known for its size, stealth-like hunting ability, fearless tenacity, and distinctive colors and design.  The tiger is bold, intelligent, and very audacious.  At Westview, our teachers and support staff are committed to educating every student to his or her fullest potential.  Like the tiger, we focus fearlessly on our challenges and seek to accomplish our set goals on a daily basis.  Student achievement is our number one priority, while continuous improvement is our attitude.  At Westview, we're on the prowl for excellence!
