Congratulations Sam Bouchard and Thilaga Arunarasu!

Sam Bouchard '23, and Thilaga Arunarasu '23 were recipients of the Jonathan D. Lewis Scholarship for $2,000 for their research in the Partnership for Scientific Inquiry Program at OHSU this summer.

Sam worked with world-renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Ahmed Raslan at the OHSU Neurosurgery Spine Center researching the Triple Code Model for numerical cognition as well as cutting-edge invasive neuroimaging in severe traumatic brain injury patients. He will co-author a manuscript entitled "Exploring Numerical Cognition with Intracranial Electroencephalography", in preparation.

Thilaga worked with Dr. Danielle Osborne in the DOW Neurobiology lab at Legacy Health, helping with her research on how obesity increases the risk of Alzheimer’s disease by looking at the hippocampi of mice.

Parking Flow and DropOff / PickUp

We want to make you aware of the parking situation at Westview High School. Most neighborhoods surrounding Westview now have restricted parking on their streets. They have signs posted on their streets that say "No Parking Except By Permit." Please do not park in their neighborhoods to avoid ticket fees and/or potential towing.



Traffic flow before and after school can be chaotic. We would like to minimize the chaos as much as possible by establishing clear routes for drop-off and pick-up locations. We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding. The true secret to arriving to school on-time and with less traffic is arriving early.


The traffic route on the North-side is for drop-offs, and the other traffic route is on the South-side for student drivers. On the South-side, remember that students are parking and then walking to the building. We do not want any drop-offs happening here. Please do not drop off students on the South side. All Drop-offs should only happen on the North Side. Please follow the route on the map.


Parents and Students, please be kind, respectful, and follow all traffic and parking rules when driving and parking on school grounds.

The map below shows the designated parking areas and traffic flow in to the pick up/drop off north lot. This traffic flow is the traditional flow and no the same pick up direction as last year. We had to change our system last year due to more parent drivers and our traffic backing up onto 185th. We believe we can return to our standard flow, but will monitor in case we need to make adjustments. Parent can always drop off 15-30 minutes early and pick up 15-30 minutes late to avoid lines. The library is open before and after school.

Student Parking

Assigned parking will not start for at least the first two weeks of school. We are selling parking spaces to 12th graders during the first two weeks and remaining spots to 11th graders the following week through a lottery if needed. Assigned parking will not begin until the September 26.



If you need to park in the neighborhoods around our campus, please pay attention to areas that require permits. Also, be sure to park safely and respectfully in these areas. Thank you!

Student Schedules

Scheduling Guidelines

Hello students and welcome back. Our counselors just wanted to let you know, courses are very full this year. Counselors have worked diligently to ensure that every student starts the school year with a full and appropriate schedule for the beginning of the school year. We also wanted to let everyone know that we are not able to make schedule changes based on teacher preference, elective choice, lunch choice, athletics, or period preference.


Schedule corrections will only be made for students who have a hole in their schedule, who are placed in the wrong level of class, for Juniors or Seniors who wish to drop a class for late arrival/early release, Teacher Aide, or Office Aide, or a class that may be needed to be on track for graduation.


Please refer to the list below of appropriate and inappropriate schedule change requests:


Examples of Appropriate requests

● Filling a hole

● Placement in the wrong level of a course (such as AGS III if they haven’t completed

AGS II)

● Errors such a course that has already been taken


Examples of Inappropriate requests

● Teacher changes

● Switching class periods

● Changing electives for any reason

● Requesting a different lunch


These policies have been communicated to students and their families during course selection in the Spring.


If you have an appropriate schedule change request, please come up to the library, complete a schedule change request form and during the first week of school, a counselor will be available to meet with you to provide the support you need for your schedule.


Please do not email counselors schedule change requests. If you have a request, please complete the schedule change form and submit it for a counselor to review. Email requests will not be accepted.


The last day for all schedule changes will be on Tuesday, September 13th, 2022. We will not be accepting forms past this date.
