WHS Students Participate In Band Day at NMU

WHS Band members had the opportunity to join the NMU Marching Band as well as other high school bands from across the Upper Peninsula and Northern Michigan at NMU's band day. What a fantastic experience for our students and a special thanks goes out to Northern Michigan University for hosting the event.


Below you will find pictures of the event as well as a short video of the band's halftime performance at the Westwood vs. Negaunee football game on October 22nd.

How to approach schoolwork when absent

Hello all. Students who miss days for illness, quarantine, vacation, etc. should use the following procedure to stay current and up to date with their classes:



  1. Bring home books and resources for ALL of their classes. Chromebooks are available for students to check out.
  2. Check Google Classroom daily while out and make a list of work to make up with questions for the teacher upon return.
  3. Reach out to their teachers via email with questions about assignments.
  4. Check student email each day.
  5. Contact the Westwood High School Office with any questions at 906.485.1023



We understand that students are going to be absent from school, often outside of anyone’s control. However, if students follow the steps outlined above, they will reduce the amount of learning loss and frustration that comes from being absent from school.
