From the Office
Happy Labor Day weekend! It is hard to believe we have been in session for almost three weeks now. Students and teachers are working hard to make this a special year at Westridge Elementary. Please remember there is no school on Monday due to the holiday weekend.
September is a very busy month. We will have our Fall into Books event on Friday, September 8th. See below for more information. We also have Parent/Teacher Conferences on September 26th & 27th. Conferences will be from 3:00-6:30 PM. School will dismiss at 2:06 on days that conferences are held. If your child attends EKC or rides the bus after school, those services will be available for them at 2:06. There will be information coming home soon about signing up for conferences. We use the Pick-A-Time online scheduler, and it is first come first serve. More information will be sent home soon. Other special events are listed below.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. Have a wonderful holiday weekend!
Thank you,

Counselors Corner
Hello Wildcat families!
I am Emily Woodson, the school counselor at Westridge. This is my second year at Westridge, and my ninth year in education. We have had a great start to the year!
My role includes:
• Teaching 30 minute biweekly guidance lessons to all K-5 students
• Meeting with students individually short-term on topics such as grief, divorce, friendship, emotions, etc.
• Meeting with students in small groups/lunch bunches to build community and teach skills
• Providing referrals, and connecting families to community resources
• Collaborating with staff and families to support students
Please fill out the Family Assistance Form if we can assist with clothing, food, school supplies, etc. I will follow up with those who respond about assistance opportunities as they are available throughout the year. Information will remain confidential.
