Principal's Message

Welcome to Irene B. West Elementary School, where our mission is to prepare every student for a successful future!
 
At West, our motto is Go 2 West → Go 2 College! We are committed to helping our students grow into confident, critical thinkers who excel in reading, writing, and mathematics. Beyond the core subjects, we strive to create a rich learning environment where students explore social studies, science, and the arts. We believe in nurturing the whole child. Through our character education programs, we teach students to Be Safe, Be Respectful, Be Responsible. These core values guide their actions and remind them that they are valued members of their families, our school, and the community.
 
Partnerships with our families are the foundation of our success. When families stay involved—whether by reading together, asking about school experiences, or volunteering—students are more likely to thrive academically and socially. We encourage all parents and guardians to take an active role in their child’s learning journey. Your support makes a tremendous difference, and you are always welcome here at West to visit classrooms, participate in events, and share in the excitement of learning. Together, we can help every child discover their strengths and reach for their dreams.
 
Again, Go 2 West→Go 2 College!
 
Respectfully,
Cheri Sanchez, Principal
