Westwood Middle School
Moving Information December 2021
Westwood Families-
The first week back, students will be adjusting to their new surroundings and getting used to the "new building smell," they will also need to get accustomed to new lockers and the layout of the building. This would also be a good time to replenish school supplies.
A few new things:
- All students will be receiving a new schedule (no changes except room numbers) and a map of the new building on Thursday December 16th.
- All students will be REQUIRED to use their assigned locker upon their return. Coats and book bags will be kept in the lockers during the day.
- Masks will be optional for all students.
Drop Off/ Pick Up
This is a new building with new routes, Your patience is critical, especially the first few days and weeks.
1. Please do not plan to arrive earlier than 7:00 for drop off in the morning. Afternoon pick-up will be at the same location as drop off.
2. Car riders can ONLY ENTER at Adelbert, at the current Westwood Middle School entrance. You can not enter for drop off or pickup using Griswold. See map below.
3. Once in the lot, please drop your student and leave. Please do not wait in your car.
4. Bus riders only will be dropped on the South side of the building and enter through the Middle School entrance.( Staff will be on sight to help direct students)
5. Car riders will be dropped on the North side of the building and enter through the elementary doors. (Staff will be on sight to help direct students)
6. Doors open at 7:25 am. Any student who arrives after 7:30 must enter through the Middle School main office ( South side) and sign in.
We appreciate your help in keeping our students safe.
