welcome to Grandville Public
Schools home of the Bulldogs we are at West Elementary
and I am Brian Mulder, the principal here
we are a kindergarten through sixth grade building with
two sections per grade level and about
350 students usually every year we're
in the heart of the City of Grandville and
we are located in the middle of three different neighborhoods
which means the majority of our students are able to
walk here to school and we partner with the Grandville
Little League as our neighbor here getting us all
kinds of extra activities going on
at night at the school we are a Title One building
which means we have a little bit of extra intervention
support which covers all of
our students; we have two interventionists and
several paras helping out at our staff West
Elementary is the B.E.S.T.
and that's our motto we want our students to always try
and be their best while they're here we want
them to Be safe, Engaged, Show
respect and Take responsibility now that doesn't mean
being perfect that means always trying to be your best
our staff here at West Elementary is
absolutely fantastic we
have about 18 teachers here
with us every day and about 30 to 40
personnel throughout the day from our day porter,
to our lunch, to our recess, to our
paras, to our teaching staff, to our office
staff we are an amazing community and
love working our hardest to create success
for all our students one of the things
we are proud of his our ability work with our
neighbors, our community partners and our businesses
to bring the whole scheme
together to make sure that we are getting
our students every opportunity for success that
they can get West Elementary like I said is
in the middle of the neighborhood and it's a great
