Welcome to the "NEW" West Park!
To our West Park Families,
Welcome to a school that has a long history of excellence and traditions. Let me tell you a little about what West Park is...
- Child centered
- A positive, welcoming, safe environment
- Successful students, meeting high expectations
- Building relationships with students, staff, families, community, and others
- Taking PRIDE in West Park’s accomplishments and traditions
West Park Elementary serves approximately 497 students in kindergarten through fifth grade. Instruction is focused on the needs of the student and curriculum standards are used to measure student achievement. We are “serving the needs of all children with rigorous program choices, high expectations, mutual respect, and excellence in all endeavors.”
2007-2010 Goals of West Park Elementary!
- Annually, each school will increase the number of students meeting benchmark standards in reading, writing, and mathematics by 3 percent, as measured by average, school-wide, student performance on the Oregon State Assessment.
- Annually, each school will increase the number of English Language Learners and Special Education students meeting benchmark standards in reading, writing, and mathematics by 3 percent, as measured by average, school-wide, student subgroup performance on the Oregon State Assessment.
- Each school will create a physically safe and emotionally secure learning environment. To this end, each school will annually increase overall stakeholder satisfaction by 3 percent, as measured by the school’s average performance on the Harris survey or other similar instrument.
We have made some improvements that show the Pride Inside. We want more parent involvement in our Site Council to learn more click on the link: http://www.hermiston.k12.or.us/schoolimprovement. We do have a PTO at West Park called PAW (Parents and Teachers At West Park) that helps with functions, activities, and fund-raising efforts for our students. Both meetings will be combined for increased involvement on the second Monday evening of each month in the Library at 7:00 pm.
Please volunteer and be a part of the PRIDE inside!
Sincerely,
Shane Pratt, Principal
