What do principals do all summer? Dr. Bradley is currently in Charlottesville, Virginia working with a district team at the Darden School of Business to improve instruction for all of our students!
We hope you're having a great summer! These young gentlemen certainly are. Dr. Bradley met them at the Board Room today to celebrate their successful completion of the inaugural THRIVE class. We are so proud of them and their two classmates who aren't pictured!
Did you hear the Buzz? These little guys certainly did. WVM is getting BRAND NEW furniture for the 24-25 school year. These sweet honey bees stopped in to check in on the progress for themselves! Not to worry, no bees were harmed in the renovations. Our own Ms. Mackenzie came and took the bees back to her house!

As a way of continuing to promote child nutrition and adding to the many celebrations capping the end of the school year, Berkeley County School District’s Office of Child Nutrition Services will launch a special giveaway next week (May 20–24) that will offer some big prizes.
Elementary, middle and high school students eating lunch and/or breakfast next week will be entered into a drawing for prizes that include, but are not limited to:
*iPads
*Wireless earbuds/headphones
*Underwater cameras
*Projectors
*Action cameras
*Bluetooth speakers
Students will receive one entry into the drawing for each meal they eat. Winners will be drawn at random, and those who eat multiple meals will obviously have an increased chance of winning.
We had a wonderful evening celebrating some of Westview's finest teachers at the BCSD retirement dinner. Fortunately, despite formally entering the retirement system, you'll still see many of these faces with us next year!
Good afternoon, WVM families!
This is a reminder that state testing begins this week at school. WVM students will take the SC Ready Reading and Writing tests this Tuesday 5/7 and Wednesday 5/8. Please make sure students arrive to school on time so that we can begin testing ASAP.
Here is a link to parent resources on the state's website and attached is our full end of year calendar: https://ed.sc.gov/tests/assessment-information/student-and-parent-resources/
We look forward to seeing our students' hard work pay off! Please reach out to the school with any questions. Thanks.
Bravo to the Westview Middle Band. Our students traveled to James Island this morning and collectively received 27 Superior ratings, 3 Excellent ratings, and 2 students passed the theory test. In our history, Westview has achieved OPA 24 times, with an unbroken streak for the last 18 years. We are so proud of our students and eternally grateful to their director, Mr. Ronnie Ward
May the 4th be with you! BCSD Family Night with the Charleston Battery is going to be a blast!
WVM's math department is hard at work still learning and growing as we approach state testing. Seen here, Dr. Manchester's classes outside working on dot plots and data collection. Also seen here, our math teachers meeting and practicing OGAP techniques in PLC's.
