In honor of Read Across America Week, we are having a week's worth of activities at West Park. There is a note coming home with your child this week. Remember, dress up days are little added elements of fun. Students should still remember shoes and coats every day. And no face paint or body paint.
Please join us tonight at 6 pm in the media center. During presentations this week we will provide the requested cost estimates for the projects listed within the two narrowed down options. The District is in need of more help to further narrow down the possible projects.
Please join us for our next fundraiser night at Freddy's on February 7 from 4:00-8:00.
Freddy's will donate 15% of all sales to our West Park PTO for use to support our students and our school.
Remember to mention West Park when you are ordering!
Join us for tomorrow night's facebook live at 7:00 pm to learn more about the growth of Columbus Public Schools and it's future facility needs.

After continued review of the weather data and snow clearing needs, there will be no school tomorrow, 1/19/23. Staff please check your email for more information regarding who must report. Students will return to class on Monday, 1/23/23.
Due to the uncertainty of the upcoming forecast and in conversation with the City of Columbus roads department we will be pushing back our decision until 10:00 pm tonight regarding whether or not we will close school.
