Congratulations to our Students of the Month. Senior Logan Sanders for the high school and 6th grader Darren Yates for the Junior High.
This year, we partnered with Arkansas Tech Career Center to begin offering Health Science classes for our Juniors and Seniors at ATU Ozark! Students who signed up for this opportunity are going to campus everyday to take college classes.
This is a great step in helping our students who want to work in the healthcare field become career ready. Thank you to Ms. Hays and especially Mrs. Nichols for making this happen for our students!
Yesterday was their first day of classes. We are looking forward to watching more Westside students reach their dreams!
Hello Musicians, After a very productive meeting, we will be starting after school practice next week due to excessive heat. This week's practices will take place indoors and is open to returning Band students.
Students enrolled in HS Band will be required to participate in Marching Band, Stand Band, or both, depending on their performance level. Everyone will be registered with the state Band organization for any activities involving the Band.
This will be a great year and your students are doing amazing already!
Hello Musicians and Parents!
Tonight is the first Music Parent Meeting of the year. We've got a lot to unpack, so please make sure someone in your household is able to attend to learn more about Band, Choir, and how YOU can support us.
We've also got a LOT of musicians that would like to join us outside of these classes. PLEASE come by tonight and learn how we can get you involved again!
If you can not attend tonight's meeting, there will be another post with our meeting minutes and schedules.
Much Love and a word from Randall Standridge, Arkansas Composer

The Junior State Trap Tournament was held today. The tournament started with 64 teams (the top 16 from each region). Our team won the first round and lost the second round. The first round was a close win and the second round was a close loss. I am very proud of these guys and all the team members who participated this year.
With a first round score of 101 the Junior Rebel Shooting Sports team advances to round 2!
May we not just reflect today on the sacrifices made for our freedoms but everyday. Let us not take them for granted, let us live in such a way that honors those who gave so much for us to have them. #MemorialDay
