The Westmoreland Wrap Up
January 19, 2024
THANK YOU!
Dear Parents,
We know it's been a crazy week as we battle the winter weather this year. The past few winters have been very forgiving and we did not need to alter many days. We want to thank you for being so patient with our recent delayed openings and today's early dismissal. We recognize it is not always easy for parents to rearrange schedules and/or make different arrangements for drop off and pick up. We appreciate your flexibility and patience!
School Lunch Menu Change for Monday, 1/22/24
Since we will not be serving lunch today due to the early dismissal, Monday's lunch menu will be changed for all elementary schools. The menu for Monday will be Pizza & Emoji Fries. The elementary swap out will remain the same, which is Cereal, Bagel, or PBJ. The NutriSlice website reflects this change.
Professional Development Next Week
As a reminder, next Tuesday, January 23rd is a 12:45 dismissal due to Professional Development for Staff. Aftercare will begin at 12:45. No school lunch will be served. If you did not pre order pizza from the Westmoreland PTO, please send a lunch/snack with your child.
One School One Book 2024
We are loving this year's book!
So far, we have met the main dog characters: Friday, Red Rover and MacTavish.
Next week is our last full week of reading together :(.... Our students will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite dog character while raising money for The Seeing Eye!
Please see our Dollars for Dogs announcement below.
We look forward to the upcoming PTO Movie Day to watch Hotel for Dogs on the big screen! You can purchase tickets in advance by visiting the Memberhub Store (link below). Tickets will also be sold at the door.
Hope to see you there!
Happy READING!!!

Kindergarten Registration for September 2024
If you have a child who will be 5 years old by October 1st, it's time to register them for kindergarten! When families register early, it helps us tremendously with planning as we have a better idea of how many students to expect/accommodate.
A Visit from TJ Middle School's Peers for Peace Club
The TJ Peers for Peace Club strives to brings smiles to others in their local community.
