Principal's Message
Dear GIVE West Students and Families,
Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! On behalf of the entire GIVE West staff, I am excited to welcome both our returning students and those joining our school community for the first time. We hope you have enjoyed a safe, restful, and enjoyable summer.
As we prepare for a new school year, we are looking forward to partnering with you to ensure every student has a successful and meaningful educational experience. At GIVE West, we remain committed to creating a school environment that is safe, supportive, and focused on helping every student reach their full potential.
Dress Code Reminder
Please take time to review the 2026-27 GIVE West Student Dress Code before the start of school. To ensure a positive and consistent learning environment, the dress code will be fully enforced beginning on the first day of school. Your support in helping students arrive dressed appropriately for school each day is greatly appreciated.
Our Focus for the Year
At GIVE West, our priorities continue to be:
- Safety and Security
- Excellence in Teaching and Learning
These priorities guide our daily work and our commitment to providing students with the best possible educational experience.
Our school theme for the 2026–2027 school year is "Hope Is a Discipline." Throughout the year, we will encourage our students to understand that hope is more than wishful thinking—it is the intentional choice to persevere, grow, and believe in what is possible even when challenges arise. We look forward to embracing this theme together as a school community.
We are excited about the opportunities this year will bring and look forward to working alongside our students and families. Thank you for your partnership, trust, and support. Together, we will make the 2026–2027 school year one of growth, achievement, and success.
We can't wait to welcome our students back!
Warm regards,
Kelly Walter
Principal, GIVE West
