Garden Growth

To advance learning and innovation, we aim to create opportunities that spark curiosity and foster a problem-solving mindset. Students actively engage with nature through activities like tending the West School garden, growing plants and vegetables when weather allows.

West Friends, New Beginnings

We’re excited to welcome our 3rd and 4th graders back for another fantastic school year. A big thank you to our amazing teachers, staff, and families for making the start of this year so successful. It’s a wonderful time to be a Westie.

Westie Wellness

At West School, students enjoy their outdoor PE classes on the tennis courts, which supports our goal of Nurturing Wellness and Belonging. This immersive experience not only promotes physical fitness but also fosters a strong sense of community and well-being among students.

INNOVATING FOR THE FUTURE

Mrs. Enza Fox and Mrs. Mary Kelly organized an engaging Hour of Code celebration. Activities included exploring coding apps, hands-on practice with programming and robotics, and an unplugged Lego-building activity, directed by complex coding models These diverse experiences allowed students to explore various aspects of computer science and robotics while still having fun.

SEL BREAKOUT

Students participated in a breakout focusing on self-awareness and responsible decision-making. Students worked as a team to unlock four locks and earn pieces of their class's Westies in Action poster. It was so much fun!

Celebrating Our Community

In the late 1970’s, the Glencoe Board of Education chose to reorganize the district from four neighborhood schools to three age-centered buildings. This decision was based on the belief that the District is best served by bringing together all students of a grade level. 

District 35 educates the whole child to...

…maximize creative and critical thinking skills.
…fully challenge and realize physical, social, and cognitive abilities.
…nurture unique learning styles, interests, strengths, and pace.
…provide a solid foundation for the next phase of education and for learning throughout life.

Celebrating Our Community

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet

District 35 views education as experiences best served by coordinated efforts of parents and the school staff.  Parent involvement through generous support of the Glencoe PTO, volunteers in classrooms and ongoing communication with teachers and school personnel are welcomed and encouraged.  Teachers in grade level and/or subject area teams work closely side-by-side in their planning, decision-making, implementation, and assessment.  Together, we nurture our greatest natural resource – our children.

Growing Every Heart and Mind

The District 35 curriculum is broadly based, reflecting an interest in the academic, social, emotional, artistic, and physical development of children. Problem-solving and decision-making are encouraged through the curriculum and informal situations, such as recess or class meetings in the lower grades and integrated activities at the upper levels.
