Teacher Spotlight: Ms. Still!
At Westview Middle our teachers go above and beyond to ensure student success! This week, Ms. Still, one of our dedicated 8th-grade math teachers, identified a learning gap during her PLC and took immediate action. Today, she executed a thoughtful and intentional reteach to support her students' understanding.
We are so proud of Ms. Still and all of our incredible teachers who work tirelessly to meet the needs of our students every day. Keep up the great work!

Our 7th graders really stepped up their persuasive writing game! Their teachers and Dr. Bradley challenged them with a $1000 budget to create the best essay about what our school needs. Huge shoutout to our winners: Lola M, who dreams of starting a news show with an iPad, and Beck B, who wants soccer goals for recess! #PersuasiveWriting #StudentVoices #ELA.C.1

Dr. Bradley, along with Dr. Cowan, Dr. Manchester, Ms. Brokaw, and a team of middle school leaders from around Berkeley County just returned from 3 days of intense training and workshopping at the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business. They worked along with educational experts to develop plans to move Westview Middle higher and further than ever!
