I hope the message finds you safe and sound as the snow continues to fall. In the midst of a winter storm, my hope is that your student’s flexible learning day has been of value and learning has continued. With another flexible learning day from home tomorrow, please reach out with questions or clarification.

Conference conversations are wrapping up as we approach the end of February. My hope is that 100 percent of families and teachers have partnered to discuss your child’s learning as a unique individual. My hope is that you found the time valuable, felt informed and ended the conversation knowing your child will be successful academically and socially in the second half of the school year.

As a staff, we will continue to communicate through the school year with you, beyond conferences, through Seesaw, Schoology, phone calls and further face-to-face opportunities. Reach out at any time. Please know that communication and connections are important to us.

We have a few weeks left in this second trimester and just a few weeks until our spring break. Despite the weather, let’s stay focused and end the trimester strong.

Remember, lift with your legs!

Take care,

Mike

The broadcast was written, filmed and edited by a group of students who are learning new skills, exploring potential career paths and building community at Westwood.

25 dedicated students are navigating the world of news broadcasting as they develop real skills and create connections school-wide. Read more about their experience and watch the first
