Principal's Message

I am honored to serve our community and students at West Elementary.  We are excited to welcome you to a safe environment filled with lots of learning and fun along the way!

As a 25-year veteran teacher, I have had the pleasure of working in various districts gaining experiences in best practices. Student success begins with us, the community, and communication is key! I encourage you to contact our teachers and staff as needed.  Open lines of communication will allow us to celebrate student success, stay informed, and tackle issues early if they arise, all in a respectful manner.  

At West Elementary, we are committed to the WHOLE child: socially, emotionally, physically, and academically.  As a staff, our goal is to provide our children positive and nurturing learning opportunities to prepare them for their upcoming endeavors.

Please join us for the many events and activities throughout the year.  More information can be found on our West PTO Facebook page as well as monthly school newsletters and classroom updates.

Again, I look forward to meeting you.  Until then, if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out: 740-596-5218 or [email protected]

Together, we can make this learning journey a positive, productive, safe, and fun experience for all our students!

Let’s make this the best year yet!
