Westwood Families and Community,

Welcome back to school! The transition from summer to school is always a big one. Bedtimes change, along with our routines and daily schedules. The transition is always a big one for our students. The structure of summer is always different than that of school. As always, I am incredibly impressed by our students and the way they have jumped right into this school year with kindness, a smile, and a positive attitude.

As we begin the year, our main focus has been to bring our students back to a safe and welcoming environment. We are teaching and practicing classroom and school routines, while also building the community and feel that we want for the year ahead.

Thank you for your partnership with us in setting a positive tone for the school year. I also want to thank our Westwood staff for all of their work, energy, and optimism as we start again!

This year, we are on a "Lost and Forgotten Treasure" hunt that I will share more about as time goes on, but for the staff at Westwood, we have already found our treasure when our students returned.

Welcome back Westwood! We have a special school. We are happy you are a part of it!

Sincerely,

Scott

Hello Westwood families,

It's great to have our students back on campus! We want to revisit our secure campus expectations for families. Front doors are locked at 9:00 a.m. Any students arriving late need to come through the front office to receive a late pass and go to class from the office.

If you are coming to the office to pick up your student or drop something off, please use the doorbell system. Please ring the bell (wait a few seconds until the TALK button lights up), then press and hold down the TALK button while you talk. Once you release the TALK button, the front office staff can talk to you. Please state your name, your student's name and the reason for your visit. Please have a picture ID readily available as this is required.

Thank you!

Front Office Team

Families can log into their Family Access account to pay for breakfast/lunch online. Please select the Food Service option on the menu. If you have any questions about this, please call the office @ 360-802-7620. (Please note: we have had families tell us that they cannot access the Food Service option on their phone - if not, you might try using a laptop or desktop).

TRANSPORTATION - SAFETY FIRST
Student drop-off and pick-up before and after school is always a challenge. Ensuring an organized way to safely connect students and parents through our bus, cars, walk-ups, and walking systems has many different layers of challenge. Our biggest concern is making sure each child is safely with the correct adult. Please follow this link for our Westwood procedures to ensure safety - Click Here!

Westwood's parent community is one of our greatest strengths. Together we can do amazing things for our students! Please consider becoming a PTO partner this year. Fifteen dollars is the membership cost which goes directly back to our students. You can be as involved or not as you choose as a partner of the PTO but thank you for considering joining.
