Kindergarten pre-registration
The Westwood Regional School District will open online Kindergarten pre-registration for the 2019‑2020 school year on Monday, December 3, 2018. This is a pre-registration only; students will not be considered enrolled until parents/guardians submit the required documentation at in-person registration in January 2019.
Be aware that your child must reside in the Borough of Westwood or Township of Washington and be five (5) years old on or before October 1, 2019 to enter Kindergarten next September.

Cold Weather and Chapped Lips
Cold weather can be a brutal time of the year for your lips.The cold air, the chilling wind and dry, heated air inside all contribute to making your lips dry and tight. In addition, when we go out in the cold, the last thing we cover up is the mouth. Lips are a special type of skin that is thin and delicate and requires tender loving care. The lips dry out 10 x faster than the rest of the skin on your face so it is important to provide extra protection.
Here are some tips to keep your lips smooth and lovely all winter long:
Don’t lick your lips. When your lips are dry, it’s natural to want to lick them to make them moist. But licking your lips actually has the opposite effect.
Use a non-medicated lip balm. This will lock in the moisture and help to heal cracks and splits in the skin. Look for a healing ointment that contains petroleum.
Avoid brushing or rubbing your lips when they are flaky or peeling. That just creates cracks and sores on your lips and can make things worse. Instead, use a very heavy ointment-based balm.
Treat cracks right away. If you let them go, they can become worse.
At night, apply lip balm before you go to bed. Many people sleep with their mouths open and doing so can dry your lips. Consider using a humidifier at night if the air in your house is dry.

Please provide your child with chapstick (non-medicated), petroleum based to use in school.
