Good afternoon, West Salisbury families. Day one for our 1st and 2nd graders was awesome. We greeted our tiger cubs with pom-poms and clappers. The smiles from students and parents were priceless. I wanted to touch base with our parents about a few things. Parents, please make sure you check out dress code on the Wicomico County Public Schools website under dress code. We saw students with ripped up jeans and they are not permitted. Also, students that have crocs shoes must have them completely on in the four-wheel drive position or sport position which means that they have the strap on the back. This is mandatory for all students wearing crocs. Parents, if your child is a bus rider or a car rider, in order to change for the day, you must put your request in writing so that we have a copy of the request on record. Finally, please be patient with our dismissal, there will be a few hiccups but we are doing our best to get everyone out in a timely manner. Please do not drive two abreast at dismissal it is dangerous. Be reminded that Kindergarten and PreK do not attend tomorrow they will come either Thursday or Friday depending on the day stated on your back-to-school letter. Our parents left tiger paws for our tiger cubs today. Each Paw had a message. That is it for today. We look forward to an even better day tomorrow. Let me hear you roar. ROAR!!!

Our students are back in school and at the bus stops, crossing the street, and let's all help them get to and from school safely. - Please slow down - Please drive carefully - Stop for stopped school buses - Keep your eyes on the road, not on your phone - Let's keep our children safe - THANK YOU!

Good afternoon West Salisbury families and staff, this is your principal Mr. Binns. I hope you are enjoying your weekend and preparing for the Labor Day Holiday. Well, school officially starts on Tuesday, and we want to give you a few announcements to be aware of. There will be no school on Monday, September 4th because of the Labor Day Holiday. On Tuesday, September 5th school will begin for 1st and 2nd grades only. The doors to the school open up at 8:15 a.m. and classes begin at 8:45 a.m. Students are dismissed at 3:15 p.m. and students must be picked up, or have left school by 3:45 p.m. Kindergarten and PreK students do not attend school on Tuesday, but parents are able to have parent-teacher conferences with their child’s teacher on Tuesday or Wednesday if they have called the school to sign up. Kindergarten and PreK students will come to school either Thursday, September 7th or Friday September 8th depending on the date that was highlighted on your back-to-school letter. Again, students in Kindergarten and PreK will not attend school on Tuesday and Wednesday. Also please be aware that all students have access to a free breakfast and lunch every day when they come to school. Another change for the 2023-2024 school year is that West Salisbury is NO LONGER a “Consistent Attire Program” (CAP) school. This means that your child can wear clothes that are not uniformed but the clothes must be in accordance with the Wicomico County Public Schools dress code that can be found on the Wicomico County Public Schools website. https://www.wicomicoschools.org/ click on the “Parents/Students” link at the top and find Dress Code under the letter D. Some basic reminders are no flip-flops or slippers, no ripped jeans or ripped pants, no hats, visors, and no tops that promote violence, drugs, profanity, etc. Parents, please remember we will have our announcements on Facebook, Instagram, automated calls, emails, text messages, Thrillshare Live Feed, and DOJO. Finally, parents that are dropping off your children please remain in your cars and pull up to the cones in the street and allow the staff to let your child out and we will escort them to the building. Remember to drive slowly and follow the crosswalk attendant, because our students’ safety is a priority. Well, that is it for now we hope you have wonderful holiday, and we will see you either on Tuesday if you are 1st or 2nd grade, Thursday or Friday if you are Kindergarten or PreK and we will see EVERYONE next Monday 11th. See you later. Tigers let me hear you roar. ROAR!!!

Good evening West Salisbury Families, this is your child’s principal Mr. Binns, it was so good to be able to see all of our smiling tiger cubs and families today at West Salisbury’s Tiger’s Den. We had a packed house and each of you were able to meet your teachers and see staff from last year. This is to remind you that you will be able to receive messages through our ThrillShare via text message, Facebook, Instagram, and voice messages. Please be looking out for our messages this Sunday to inform you of the plan for the first day. Enjoy your evening and we hope you have a wonderful Thursday. We are the tiger nation. Let me hear you ROAR!!!

Good evening West Salisbury Families, this is your child’s principal Mr. Binns. Well, summer is almost over, and we are getting close to the start of another school year. We have met with our teachers, and they are ready to go. A quick reminder that tomorrow, Wednesday, August 30, 2023 is our Open House here at West Salisbury Elementary School from 4:30 – 6:30 p.m. This is when you and your child can come to school, see your class, meet your teacher and talk with administration. So, take some time out of your schedule and see us tomorrow, we cannot wait to see you. We are so excited to see our tiger cubs again. Well, that’s it for now, I hope to see you tomorrow tigers. We are the tiger nation, let me hear you roar. ROAR!!!
