West Point Elementary School

🎉 6th Grader for a Day = Success! 🎉

We had an amazing time welcoming our rising 6th graders to campus this week! Students enjoyed a full day of activities, including a school tour, practicing locker combinations, visiting a PE class, and experiencing lunch in the cafeteria.

A special thank you to our current 6th grade leaders and staff who helped make the day so welcoming and fun for everyone!

We are so excited to welcome this group back in the fall as our newest middle school students! 💙

📅 Save the Date: August 12th at 6:00 PM for 6th Grade Orientation — we can’t wait to see you there!

We are proud to celebrate our first four preschoolers who have reached the “100 Club”! 💯
This year, Mrs. Jessie and I set a goal to teach our students to count to 100—and they did it! 🎉
Way to go! #WPVPI4 #LearningThroughPlay

On February 26, 2026, we proudly celebrated the opening of our Youth Art Month Exhibition 🎨✨

What made the evening even more special? Three West Point Middle/High School students took an unexpected opportunity to give back—stepping into the art studio to teach elementary students how to create pinch pots. This beautiful moment of mentorship was completely unplanned and truly inspiring!

The story didn’t end there 💛 After the artwork was fired, the students reunited when the older students personally delivered the finished pieces to the elementary classrooms.

We couldn’t be more proud of their initiative, creativity, and leadership. Moments like these show the true power of art to connect, inspire, and build community. 🌟

Spring is in the air and in the garden! 🌸🌱 The bulbs that the Environmental Club planted in the fall are coming up nicely 🌷✨ We hope to plant spring bulbs soon 🌼

Also, the kale 🥬 and carrots 🥕 have overwintered just fine! The carrots will need a bit more time ⏳ but the kale will be ready to harvest soon 🙌

The Environmental Club plans to plant some fruits 🍓 and veggies 🥒 soon. We were wondering — does anyone from the community have any special requests or suggestions? 🤔💬

Finding the perfect preschool just got easier! Join us for the Preschool Open House & Pizza Party on Tuesday, March 24, from 5:00 to 7:00pm at West Point Elementary School!

Explore preschool options, connect with program representatives, and enjoy free pizza while discovering the best fit for your child. 🍕

Don’t miss this fun and informative event! 🙌

From practicing our turtle pose for National Tornado Safety Day to exploring the important roles of Community Helpers, our students have been hard at work learning and growing.

A big thank you to our West Point Community Helpers who visited to share about their jobs and demonstrate the tools they use every day—we loved having you! 👏🚒👮‍♀️ #CommunityHelpers #EarlyLearning #WPPS

March is National Nutrition Month, a time to highlight how healthy eating supports student success in and out of the classroom. Nutritious meals help fuel growing bodies and give students the energy and focus they need to learn each day.

We are grateful for our dedicated school nutrition staff who work hard to provide balanced, delicious meals for our students. 🥦🍎
