The World of Westwood Wolves
Unleashing the Power of Our Pack- #PackPower!
Westwood's Mission:
February 26, 2023
From the principal's office...
I hope you had a good weekend! I hope we see some more sun this week; and I hope the snow flakes I see in the forecast on Friday don't actually come! I don't know about you, but I am definitely ready for spring.
We are celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday and Read Across America week. We have some fun spirit days (see pics below)- and we try to make it as easy on parents as possible!
You should have received enrollment information in your child's Tuesday folder last week; thank you so much to so many of you who have already returned your paperwork along with a proof of address. If you haven't returned these, you'll want to do that ASAP- having this paperwork will save your spot at Westwood for the 2023-24 school year.
This Wednesday, March 1st, starts kindergarten registration. If you have a child who is five or turning five by August 1st, you need to get him/her enrolled. You'll need a birth certificate, social security card, shot record, proof of address, and a copy of the kindergarten physical (if you have it already).
Bible club continues to meet Tuesday; participating students should be picked up at 4:15.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Crumby

Information shared previously...
Can each class spell Westwood?
When students are late, they miss free breakfast (we always try to ask if they still need breakfast, but sometimes when it's busy in the office, it's hard to make sure). Also, every grade does some reading instruction first thing in the morning, so kids who aren't here on time miss that as well. Many students have a hard time coming in being ready to learn when they are upset or thrown off from being late. Please help us help our Wolves get off to the best start possible each day!
Car rider help...
We appreciate all of you who follow procedures and rules set in place to keep everyone safe and make our car line run smoothly. Thank you!
How do I receive information from Westwood?
PHONE CALLS: We also send out phone calls through an automated system; you will receive these calls if your phone number is correct in Registration Gateway. If your number changes, you can update the information in Registration Gateway, or call the office to update.
SOCIAL MEDIA/WEBSITE: The weekly parent update and other announcements/stories are also posted on our school's Facebook page and website. We are working on activating our school's Instagram account also- we'll let you know when that's up and running.
PAPER NOTES: We also send out paper notes at times; most of these will be sent in folders that come home every Tuesday. Every now and then, we need to send information on other days, so it's a great practice to check the backpacks each afternoon/evening.
We don't want you to miss any information, so we put things out in lots of ways!
