RESIDENCY VERIFICATION AND INTENT TO RETURN
Unbelievably, it is already time to start making plans for the 2018-2019 school year. We’ve had a terrific year here at Westpark Elementary, and we truly look forward to working with your children again next year.
To help us determine our staffing needs for the upcoming year, we need to project our upcoming student enrollment. If you have a TK-5th grade student(s), please fill out and submit the INTENT TO RETURN SURVEY as soon as possible (no later than March 2, 2018). It is very important that you complete one of these surveys for each of your children who currently attend Westpark Elementary. Do not complete this survey for your 6th grade child who will be moving on to middle school next year.
The second step, in addition to the survey, is to complete the required IUSD updated Residency Verification Form and Affidavit for your student(s). If you have more than one student in grades TK through 5th at the same school, you can list all your students on one completed Affidavit. Submit a separate Residency Form and Affidavit to Westpark for 6th graders. We will forward to the middle school. Please return the completed IUSD Residency Verification Form and Affidavit along with the required documents to school by March 2, 2018.
Directions and document for residency verification, can be found here.
ANNUAL SURVEY - YOUR FEEDBACK MATTERS!
Please take a few minutes to complete our IUSD Annual Survey! This is the third year that every school in Irvine Unified will administer a climate survey. By making this an annual district-wide effort, we can begin to understand our most compelling needs and measure our growth over time.
Understanding our stakeholders perceptions regarding school climate and home- school-community relations is critical for guiding our continuous improvement efforts and focusing resources through our Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) to ensure that we serve our students, support our staff, and remain connected to our communities.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete our survey! We know that this is a busy time of year and we appreciate you dedicating your time to provide us candid and constructive feedback. The survey will be open from January 16, 2018--February 15, 2018. All responses to this survey are anonymous and will be kept strictly confidential.

If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Maguire at nancymaguire@iusd.org
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A STUDENT
Open House is February this year! Rather than waiting until the school year is over to share our year with you, we are offering you a look now at what your student does each day while there is still more to come! It is an exciting peek at not only what is finished, but what is in progress. Your student will be able to tour you around and show you what their day is like.
Mark your calendars for this exciting event! Open House is Thursday, February 8th. Classrooms will be open from 5:45 - 6:45 and dessert and coffee sales will be available from 5:30 - 7:00.
