Westwood Weekly Update
September 24, 2021
Message from Mr. Kish
Thank you very much to the Westwood PTO for all of your hard work in making the Westwood Walk a HUGE SUCCESS! We all greatly appreciate your support!
Also, thank you for taking the time to read to your child each night. Reading is a great way to end the day and helps to reinforce the work we are accomplishing at school. Thank you so much for being so supportive!

Infinite Campus Annual Census Review
It is required that a parent or guardian complete the Census Review each year. You must verify that your household, student, emergency contact, and parent/guardian contact information is accurate or update as needed, and review the required annual Release Agreements. This was due to be completed by September 18, 2021. Please complete as soon as possible.
The Census Review is a new process this year through your Infinite Campus Parent Portal. Follow these steps:
- Important - Only one application can be submitted per student, per year. Please ensure that only one parent/guardian completes the application.
- If you do not have an existing Infinite Campus Parent Portal Account, contact the main office of your student’s school to obtain your unique activation key. You cannot complete the Census Review logged in under a student account.
1. Log into your Infinite Campus Parent Portal, either through www.westg.org > Parents > Infinite Campus or the Infinite Campus App.
- If you need to upload new proofs of residency due to a change of address, you MUST complete the registration on a computer. It will not work through a tablet or phone.
2. Under the Message Center, select “More”
3. Select “Online Registration”
4. Select “Click here to go to Existing Student Annual Census Review”
5. Select “Begin Registration”
- Note: If you have more than one student, they will all be included in the same application.
If you have any issues completing the Annual Census Review, contact the District Registrar at 440-729-6807.
If you do not have access to complete the Census Review online, you can make an appointment through the Registrar to complete the application at the Board of Education Office.
Westwood Walk - Thank You!
Thank you for all the amazing support for the Westwood Walk! We are thrilled to announce that we blew past our fundraising goal. The total amount raised and individual and class prize winners will be announced at school next week; we'll make sure the news gets out to our parent community as well. Thank you for all your support. When you give a dollar to PTO, it goes right back into the school and is transformed into events, classroom supplies, books, and many of the memorable "extras" that PTO provides.
A lot goes on during the Walk, and what you hear about it might be confusing, so here are some details. Your student might come home with a participation prize from the Walk. These were given out from randomly drawn names during the Walk, regardless of a student's individual fundraising. We also had an optional recess walk today, so your student might come home with a beaded chain necklace from that. Your student might also come home with a big story about high-fiving the wolverine mascot, dancing along to some music, grabbing water like an Olympic marathoner from a water station, and chowing down on an apple in the middle of the afternoon. That all really happened -- it's all part of the weird fun of Walk day! Many thanks to the volunteers who powered the event, to Patterson Fruit Farm for the apples, and to Mr. Kish and the Westwood staff for walking and working with us every day for the benefit of the Westwood community.
