Dear GIVE West Families and Community,
As we close out a wonderful first semester, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your support and partnership. Together, we’ve accomplished so much, and I couldn’t be prouder of our students and staff. This season is a time to celebrate success, reflect on growth, and look forward to an exciting new year!
As we prepare for the second semester, our commitment remains strong with two key priorities:
- Safety and Security– creating a safe, welcoming environment for every student.
- Instruction with Individualized Plans– ensuring each student has a path to success.
Please enjoy a joyful holiday season filled with peace and happiness. We look forward to welcoming our students back on Monday, January 5th, ready to learn and thrive!
A few important reminders for a smooth start:
- Students must follow the dress code. Click here to review the 2025-26 GIVE West Dress Code.
- Cell phones are not permitted during the school day. If a student brings a phone, parents will need to pick it up from school.
Thank you for helping us maintain a positive and productive learning environment. Let’s make the second semester even brighter than the first!
Wishing you Happy Holidays and a fantastic New Year!
Warm regards,
Dr. Kelly A. Walter
Principal, GIVE Center West
