Westside FAQ's
What are your school hours?
School starts at 8:35 a.m. and ends at 3:35 p.m. Students should arrive at school no earlier than 8:20 as there is no supervision before that time. The first bell rings at 8:30 and students are expected to be ready to begin at 8:35. The office is open from 7:30 to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday when school is in session.

How do I register my child for school?
What do I need to bring in for registration?
Birthdates are confirmed through the Wisconsin Immunization Registry. Students 4K through 2nd grade that are non-immunized or registering from out of state, must bring in an ORIGINAL birth certificate for verification. The certificate may be brought in to any elementary office, the 4K office or the district office.
What and how much are the general fees?
The general fees are used to offset supply costs for the school (i.e. paper, school supplies, work books, etc.) Fees are subject to change annually.

What do I do if my child will not be at school?
If your child is going to be absent for any reason, we ask that you please call the office at (920)739-3578. Voicemail messages can also be left on our attendance line at any time. If you know that your child is going to be out ahead of time, we ask that you notify your child's teacher as well as the office. We appreciate your help in keeping us informed.
Can my child take medications at school?
Yes. There are medication forms available in the school office or on the district web-page. These forms are needed for all prescription and over-the-counter medications (i.e. cough drops, pain relievers, etc.). Prescription medication forms require a doctors signature as well.
How do I know if school is closed?
If weather conditions dictate that there will be no school, a decision to keep the schools closed is usually made by 6:30 a.m. Parents with students in school receive a direct call, text and/or email from our auto-call system since that is the fastest way to communicate with thousands of parents at one time. Announcements will be made on the local radio stations: WAPL-105.7 FM, WHBY-1150 AM, WKFX-104.9 FM, WEMI 91.9 FM, WGEE-1360 AM, WOZZ-93.5 FM; and the local TV stations: WBAY-TV2, WFRV-TV5, WGBA-TV26, and WLUK-FOX11.
Can my child ride the bus?
Only children that are bus eligible can ride the bus. If you are not sure if your child is bus eligible, contact Lamers Bus Lines at (920) 832-8800.
