The World of Westwood Wolves
There is no place like our PACK. #WestwoodFamily
August 25th, 2023
We are so thankful for a fabulous second week of school! Our teachers continue to spend their time building school/classroom communities and making connections. At the start of each day, we often see teachers greeting students at the door and making connections that pay off during the days and weeks ahead.
We also had our first fire drill of the year and it went well. Students remember where to go and what to do. We are so proud of each of our Wolves!
Today, we celebrated students who kept our PACK promise this week. These students got a special note and a bracelet to take home. We posted a picture of the group on our social media feeds to share with our community how proud we are of our Wolves!
We had around 20 students who participated in the Reading with Hazel summer challenge! These students will celebrate their achievement on Thursday, August 31st at 1:30 pm. We will post pictures and tell you more about the celebration in our next newsletter. Stay tuned.
We want to use this newsletter to introduce our new school nurse to you. Please read about her and her family below. We are so excited to have Nurse Katrina as part of our PACK!

Hi!
I'm nurse Katrina and I have been an RN for 8 years. I am a wife, mother, daughter, aunt, and friend to many. I have 3 beautiful children and a loving husband whom I have been married to for 10 years. I enjoy camping, concerts, reading, BBQ’s with friends and family, and anything adventurous. We are new to Arkansas and thrilled to be here to start this new chapter in our lives. I am excited to join the Westwood Elementary family!

Our School Day
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Car Riders:
- If you have students in grades Kindergarten through 2nd grade, your students will need to be dropped off and picked up in the front of the building.
- If you have students in grades 3rd-5th your students will need to be dropped off and picked up on the east side of the building.
- For the safety of all students, please have their car tag hanging on the rear view mirror as we are continuing to use the same dismissal procedures as the last couple of years.
- Teachers and support staff will be available to help students find their way to their classroom the first few days of school.
Walkers:
- Once again this year, students who are walkers or bike riders will be dismissed on the far side of the fence on McRay Ave.
- We ask that parents do not congregate inside the fence for our students' safety.
- We will continue to have a cross guard at the corner of McRay Ave. and Carlton St.
- We ask that students and their families refrain from crossing in front of the building on McRay Ave.
We appreciate your patience as we work through all of these items on the first days of school. Our students' safety is our number one priority. We cannot do it without your help!
