Westy Academy Weekly Newsletter
Week of February 28th-March 4th 2022
A Message From the Principal...
Owls,
Ending this week, we are half way through our Parent Teacher Conferences! We have our last round occurring Monday and are thankful to all the parents who have shown up on time and ready to chat about your students. If you need to make a change to a conference time, or missed one this past Thursday, please reach out directly to your student's teacher for support!
The HRS Survey is now closed, and we are appreciative of the feedback we received. hearing directly from the families and students is what helps render aid in areas we may be lacking and allows for growth in areas we may not have been aware of before. Alternatively, we can see areas in which our families believe the school flourishes and shines. Both pieces of information are crucial in supporting our school, and maintaining the best possible learning environments for our students--your children.
So.... THANK YOU AGAIN, to all those that completed the survey! The office will be drawing names for prizes next week, and we will announce the winners in next Friday's newsletter.
Last item of mention this week, is the kick-off of our After School Tutoring Program!
If you received an invitation for tutoring for your student, Intermediate tutoring (grades 3rd-5th) will begin Tuesday through Thursday from 4p-5p; starting next week on March 1st.
Primary tutoring will be from 2p-3p; Tuesday-Thursday starting March 7th.
Please reach out if you are interested in afterschool tutoring! As we on-board more tutors we will be reaching out to more families!
Sincerely,
Mr. Warwick

Zoo-rific!; Primary Grades Musical
Mrs. Anderson and Mr. Moore's students will be participating!
WEDNESDAY; MARCH 9th at 5:30pm.
Ms. Grenham has provided some resources to help children practice at home. Please find attached a packet that was sent home with students sharing the script and how to get to the songs on Empower.
Please encourage them to practice at home on their chrome books!
Students should arrive around 5:15 so the show can start at 5:30. Students can wear costumes. They can be anything zoo related: animals from the songs, general zoo animals, zookeepers, etc. They can wear their school uniform and hold props if they do not bring their own costume.
Please let me know if you have any technical difficulties or any questions.
I'm so looking forward to the performance!

Lost and Found
We will be making a donation of clothing and items that are remaining in the Lost and Found at the end of next week.

Thanks Owls!
