Staff Directory

West Ottawa elementary school staff is pleased to have you join us in the exciting endeavor of educating your children! We look forward to working with you and your child(ren) in this exciting educational partnership.

As questions or concerns arise through the course of the school year, we encourage you to contact the person who works most closely to the area of concern. Nearly all West Ottawa employees have a phone and voice mail.  Situations regarding your child or your child's classroom activities should be directed to the teacher. If the question is a general one regarding building operations, scheduling, etc., please contact the principal directly.

Any time there are continued concerns or questions that have not been resolved by your initial contact, feel free to continue the process to the principal, an assistant superintendent, or the superintendent.  Full District Staff Search
