Results of Highly Reliable Schools (HRS) Survey!
Our survey data is in and looks very positive! 89% of parents responded favorably to the questions on our survey; 4 percentage points higher than the district average.
Our lowest response from parents was to the statement: “I understand how my opinions effect school decisions” in which 79% of parents responded positively.
Fittingly, our opinion surveys are probably the most large scale way in which your opinions effect our decision making! We look carefully at the data and read all the comments and make adjustments based on those data. Westy Academy also has other ways for you to have input as well! Make sure to read the section below on how to get involved with OUR school!
Get Involved in Your Student's School!
Our PTO meets monthly and also serves as our BAAC (Building Accountability and Commitment). This group is concerned with fundraisers, field trips, special events and is also a sounding board for our initiatives in the building. Additionally, the BAAC group is one of the bodies that reviews our budget proposals for the following school year.
PTO currently meets the 1st Tuesday of the month, at 5:15pm in the Library. Please join us!
Coffee with the Principal will be held on the first Friday of every month starting April 1 at 8:30-9:30AM. These meetings are informal and a chance to converse with the principal, ask questions or learn more about how the building runs. We’ll provide coffee and light refreshments; masks are optional! We hope to see you there!

District Art Contest; Stay Drug Free
Alcohol (beers, wine, and whiskey) Tobacco (cigarettes, chewing tobacco, cigars, vaping tobacco) & Marijuana (including marijuana infused edibles) ARE DRUGS. Children and teens who use drugs can become addicted – their body won’t let them quit using the drug. Some of the drugs will cause your brain and body not to work right. Some of the drugs may even cause you to die.
When you are sick, your parents take you to the doctor and the doctor may prescribe drugs to make you well. These drugs are medicine and the amount and kind is made up especially for your body.
To stay healthy and safe, say NO to Alcohol, Tobacco, Marijuana and all other
Drugs except medicines prescribed for you by your doctor.
