Mission Statement

The West Side Union Elementary School District is an educational community that promotes academic, physical, and social growth for all students. We provide educational programs of the highest quality within a supportive environment, respecting individual differences and cultural backgrounds. We encourage critical and creative thinking, and aim to strengthen each student’s power of imagination. We provide the foundation for higher education, responsible leadership, and lifelong learning.

 

West Side School is a K-6 elementary school, serving about 125 students with 20 full and part-time staff. It is the only school within the West Side Union School District, which unified about fifty-some years ago when five one-room schoolhouses merged. Presently, the school maintains nine classrooms, offering one classroom per grade, and a Resource Specialist (RSP) classroom.

West Side School is a small, rural school in northern Sonoma County, about two miles outside the city of Healdsburg. Nestled in an agricultural valley 70 miles north of San Francisco, California, the District’s name derived from being located on the “west side” of the Russian River. The District also maintains the original one-room schoolhouse, Felta Schoolhouse, built in 1906.
