    CALL OUT SYSTEM: SCHOOL MESSENGER

    When there is important information to relay to parents, we will utilize the HISD call out system called SchoolMessenger. Parents may receive a pre-recorded message, an email, and/or a text message from the school. This is extremely effective, but only when we have correct phone numbers and email addresses on file.  Update contact information with the Attendance Office.

     
    THE HOWLER

    The Howler is the online Westside student newspaper. It is published by and for students and is currently distributed online. The newspaper is edited by the Westside teacher sponsor.  A newspaper class (elective credit) is offered during the school day for interested students. Journalism I (and a dean/staff recommendation) is a pre-requisite.

     
    ANNOUNCEMENTS

    Two venues for public announcements are utilized within the school; a television broadcast is made daily, and scrolling announcements are also visually posted on the TVs around campus. Important information can also be found on this website.
