Due West Elementary

School is officially out for summer! ☀️🎉

What a fantastic 2025–2026 school year it has been. We are so proud of our Pioneers and all the growth, learning, and accomplishments this year. Thank you for the laughter, the memories, the fun, and the relationships that make Do West feel like home. ❤️

Enjoy every moment of your sweet summer break, Pioneers! We can’t wait to welcome you back in August for another amazing year together. 😎

Happy SLP Appreciation Day!

Be sure to thank Anna Masoudpour and Stephanie Reeves when you see them! Their hard work, patience, and dedication help support so many of our students each and every day. We truly couldn’t do what we do without them, and we are so thankful for the care they pour into our school community.

Thank you for helping our Pioneers learn, grow, and shine! 🗣️✨

Congratulations, Harry 🎉
Leader of the Week

Ms. Schultz shared:
Harry loves school and always comes into the classroom with a big smile on his face. He enjoys playing with trains, building race tracks, completing tangram puzzles, playing outside, and eating popcorn. Harry brings so much joy and excitement to our classroom each day with his happy personality and love for learning. We are so proud of him as he gets ready to move on to Kindergarten at Bullard Elementary School.

Our 1st graders hit a hole-in-one with their “Little Masters” mini-golf showcase! ⛳️✨

Students designed and built their own mini-golf holes while exploring force and motion, geometry, engineering, storytelling, collaboration, and what makes a game fun and fair. Families enjoyed experiencing the full student-created course together!

A special thank you to ALP teachers, Mrs. Googe & Mrs. Rubino for planning and hosting such a meaningful opportunity for students to showcase their creativity, thinking, and innovation. We are so proud of our 1st grade Pioneers! 💚

What a way to celebrate Fri-yay and our last full day of school for the year! 🎉

A huge thank you to the Sotres Family & AE Home Professionals for treating our staff to an incredible Casa Sotres lunch spread today. Your generosity, support, and kindness mean so much to our Due West family. We are so grateful for community partners who continue to love on and encourage our teachers and staff in such thoughtful ways. 💙💛

Thank you for helping us finish the school year feeling appreciated and celebrated!

Congratulations, Amelit 🎉
Leader of the Week

Mrs. Barton & Mrs. Lawrence shared:
Amelit is the definition of a true pioneer. She shows bravery because she is not afraid to try new things and challenge herself. She is curious-she’s always eager to learn new vocabulary words. She is an encourager to her fellow classmates and supportive of everyone’s learning. Her positivity shines through each day. We so proud of her and the growth she has shown with her reading skills! Awesome job, Amelit!

Congratulations, Mark 🎉
Leader of the Week

Mrs. Barton & Mrs. Lawrence shared:
Mark’s bravery is showcased when he comes across new and challenging texts. He is never afraid to tackle hard things and knows his hard work will pay off. He never lets mistakes or challenges discourage him, rather he displays a go getter attitude and learns from them. He makes great choices to help support his learning environment. Way to go Mark!
