What is WE-SIDE?

We Are Westside… Fully Embracing the WE

Westside Community Schools launched the WE-SIDE Community Council in the summer of 2020. This stands for Welcoming Equity Support Inclusion and Dignity for Everyone.  Our goal is to ensure that all of our students and staff feel welcomed and valued at Westside.

We began by asking our community and our employees to discuss inclusion and to contemplate what Westside Community Schools could do to better support students and staff of all backgrounds.  We formed a WE-SIDE steering committee to design our next steps.

We are focusing on things that bring us together by gaining a greater appreciation of our similarities and differences.  Our tools are open dialogue, data, active engagement and continuous learning and programming throughout our district.  

This is not a one-time event; it is fully incorporated into the fabric of Westside Community Schools.  Please look for Community Walks, our annual Multicultural fair and more opportunities to get involved.
