Thank you for all of your support as we jump in to a new school year. It was wonderful to see all of you and welcome your children back on campus. We are thrilled to bring back many of our programs. But, we plan to move slowly and deliberately to ensure the healthy and safety of all.
Please look for information regarding Roadrunner TV and Ambassadors coming home soon. Xploration will be starting soon as well. For those of you new to Westwood, this is a phenomenal program that brings additional PUSD teachers on campus to enrichment lessons including PE, visual and performing arts, and coding. These guest teachers are highly trained and provide a consistent program across the district. WWES teachers are released to meet collaboratively with their grade levels teams. Or students love Xploration! Win win. We love to offer opportunities to grow our student leaders and support all students.
We will continue to refine our health and safety protocols an follow all CDPH guidelines.
Welcome Back!
