April is Autism Awareness Month, and the Elkhorn Autism Support Team (EAST) invites you to “Celebrate Differences” for the 6th year.
Join us as we raise awareness to promote Autism acceptance, celebrate each individual's unique differences, and foster inclusivity and connectedness. For the month of April, you will see posts on interesting facts and thoughts on various topics.
Thank you for supporting EAST and our Autism Students.
Kwik Trip Fundraiser Gift Card pick up tonight 3:40-5pm, West Side Office.
Hello West Side Families!
On Monday, April 8th, West Side will be viewing the partial solar eclipse. Wisconsin does not fall within the path of totality, so the state will only experience a partial eclipse. Students will have indoor recess in the afternoon on Monday, as the time frame for Wisconsin is approximately 12:50pm-3:20pm. We will provide students with certified solar eclipse observation glasses during the 5-10 minute outdoor viewing time with their teacher and class. If you do not want your child(ren) to participate in this event, please call the West Side School Office (262-723-3297) or email flettr@elkhorn.k12.wi.us by Friday, April 5th.
Thank You!
Hello West Side Families,

If that time frame does not work for you, cards will be available for pick up anytime after that date in the school office (7:00am-4:00pm on school days). On Friday, April 12th, West Side is hosting Art Night, so any remaining cards will be available that evening as well. Thanks so much for your continued support of West Side PTA!
