Lost and Found
Students have done an amazing job keeping track of their belongings this school year. With that being said, we still have a large amount of items in the lost and found. If your student has misplaced something please have them check the lost and found. All items will be donated at the end of the trimester on Nov. 3rd.
Holiday Assistance Programs
It is the time of year to think about Holiday assistance, if your family might need support this year. There are several programs in the area. Here is a flier with the current programs. If you need an assistance please let Mrs. Ostermeyer (school social worker) know so your family can get signed up.

Reminders
Student IDs
Students are required to have a student ID visible on their upper body at all times when they are in the building. All students will receive a temporary ID and lanyard on the first day of school. They will need to exchange that temporary ID for their permanent ID approximately 1 week after school pictures are taken. If a student forgets their ID they may purchase a temporary sticker ID in the main office for $1. Students may also purchase a new lanyard in the main office for $1. If a student loses their ID they may purchase a new ID and lanyard for $5 in the main office.
Dress for Success
To help ensure we start the year with positive momentum at Westridge, we wanted to share a friendly reminder about the “Dress for Success” district dress code.
Your students deserve to be confident AND prepared while at school. Part of those preparation efforts include dress code.
Apparel must comply with health and safety codes and not detract from learning.
For all students, mid-thigh to top of chest are to be covered while also concealing undergarments.
Approved religious attire or protective headwraps are approved. At this time, due to safety - hoods, caps, bandanas, durags, etc. are not approved to wear while in school buildings.
IDs must be worn and be visible at all times.
Feel free to explore the full dress code policy on the district website HERE and our handy “Dress for Success” flyers in English and Spanish.
