The World of Westwood Wolves
Unleashing the Power of Our Pack- #PackPower!
Westwood's Mission:
March 5, 2023
From the principal's office...
I hope you've had a good weekend- it was so good to have some nice weather! This upcoming week is student-led conferences; you should have received your appointment information in last Tuesday's blue folder. It is very helpful if you keep your appointment and come on time; the teachers have very packed schedules, and it really makes things hard when there are no shows or really late arrivals. If something comes up and you won't be able to make your appointment, you'll need to call the office to reschedule. These are student-led conferences, so the Westwood students must be there with you. The students are ready and excited to share where they are on their goals, what they've been learning, and more.
The book fair will also be open during conferences. Students can shop early before school starts, during their library time, or after school during conferences. We will have some areas set up for you to fill out a short survey to give us insight as to how you feel things are going at Westwood. We are excited about conference week!
We had to make a schedule change for spring pictures; both class pictures and individual pictures will now be Monday, March 27 (the Monday after Spring Break- we will send plenty of reminders!). We will hold on to any orders that have already been returned, and you can continue to send order forms/payment to school between now and picture day, pay online, or send it the day of pictures.
This is the LAST WEEK OF BIBLE CLUB ; participating students should be picked up at 4:15. There will be no PACK 2.0 this week due to conferences.
Have a great week!

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!
