Parent/teacher Interviews were held on April 12 and 13. Thank you to all parents who came out. Mid-term reports were sent home with students on April 11.

Westisle’s school survey is active again this year and can be taken at www.ourschool.net/westisleparent2018. Please take a few moments to complete the survey as it provides valuable feedback when ending the school year and preparing for the 2018-2019 year.
