About Our School

The mission of West View Elementary School, in partnership with its entire community, is to educate each student by providing a positive, challenging, and enriched learning environment that enables each student to become a life-long learner and a responsible citizen in an increasingly global society.

West View Elementary School is helping all students develop the world class skills and life and career characteristics of the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate by providing a positive, challenging, and enriched learning environment that enables each student to become life-long learners and responsible citizens in an increasingly global society.

With a Gifted and Global Studies focus, students have opportunities to learn through experiences and lessons that allow them to have an understanding of the world around them. The teachers were filly engaged in professional development that supported the mission and goals of the school. In 2014-2015, teachers completed the second of two classes needed to provide them with Gifted and Talented Endorsements. The school initiative was a two year goal which enabled teachers to employ effective strategies with all students at all ages. In 2015—2016, teachers participated in the Fundamentals of Reading staff development classes for the state required reading endorsement. Additional professional development included Project-Based Learning, Writing, Technology, and D6 University for Depth of Knowledge and instructional development. The district’s new technology based learning platform, itsLearning, provides a way for teachers to better individualize instruction, further meeting the mission and goals of the school and district. Individualized learning continues to be the focus for the school and district, providing students with a pathway for personal growth and success.

West View Elementary School was honored to be recognized as a 2014 National Blue Ribbon School. This high honor is a testament to the commitment of providing a quality education to all students. We are proud of students’ consistent academic performance on standardized assessments.

School Improvement Council’s Annual Goals

The School Improvement Council established 4 goals for the 2015-2016 school year.



Goal 1: Increase Communication between Parents and the School

West View already had several forms of communication in place for parents. Our teachers create a webpage to display information and news. Also we have our school webpage, Facebook page, and a phone messenger system that contains relevant facts and information. This year we begin to use the Remind App to keep parents up to date on activities, events, and news taking place at school. We will continue to use all of the forms of communication listed above.


Goal 2: Maintain a Healthy and Safe School

This year, our school was awarded a grant from Spartanburg Regional Foundation to purchase pedometers for all of our students and faculty. The program, Walk with Wesley, incorporates a computer program called “Log It” in which students input their pedometer steps to hike the 10,726 mile journey across America. The program kick off was held in February as the Dorman High School Drum line encouraged students on a walking parade through the school!


Goal 3: Instructional Focus

With increasing focus on authentic reading and reading readiness through Read to Succeed, West View Elementary School added a full time reading coach this year. We focused on adding multiple copies of book sets to support grade level curriculum and differentiated learning opportunities.



Goal 4: School Beautification

As a celebration of the school’s Blue Ribbon success, banners were ordered to hang from the light posts in front of the school. The banners are a daily reminder for our students, staff, and community of the amazing things happening at our school!
