Greetings West End Family! These past few weeks have been outstanding...it is a pleasure to serve as the principal of West End Middle School.  I've had the opportunity to observe our teachers and students in an effective learning environment and its extremely refreshing!  Our students are engaged during instruction and they leave our wonderful school with a smile on their faces.  We believe that all students have the potential to become productive citizens who are "selfless"...your support and dedication is greatly appreciated!  It is our goal to continue to give 100% every day and provide our students opportunities to change the world. 

Last week, we sent home information regarding our online grading program, GradeSpeed.  I hope that you have taken a moment to review the information and sign up for access to view your child's grades.  If you did not receive the letter, please take a moment to sign up on our school website.  It is very important for all stakeholders to take full responsibility for the academic success of all WEMS students.  Please continue to encourage your child to come to school prepared to learn with all essential tools.  Thank you for being a contributor to West End's success! 

Sincerely,

Gregory C. Hutchings, Jr.
