Hello Westridge Parents! 

Just a reminder, there is NO School tomorrow!  Enjoy your long weekend!

With the increased traffic from the new Pickle Ball and Tennis Courts, we ask that you be extremely careful and follow the guidelines below as you drop off/pick up your children.  See the attached map that was sent out with the beginning of the year documents.

Drive slowly, be aware of your surroundings, and watch for children and adults. Please do not enter the employee parking lots on the west and east sides of the building to drop off/pick up your children.  We place traffic cones and have adults in these areas as a reminder to not enter these areas so we can protect the children.  You may park in the visitor parking lot at the front of the building (south side).  We have three lanes in front of the building to keep the flow of traffic moving. The far-right lane is for drop off/pick up only. The middle and left lanes are for pull-through only.  Please do not park or drop off/pick up in these lanes.  Cars in the pull-through lanes need to be moving at all times. Children can be dropped off/picked up along the sidewalk on the right-hand side. The children need to exit on the right side of the car.  If, for some reason, a child needs to exit on the left side of the car, we ask that the driver get out of the car, open the door, and walk the child to the sidewalk. You may want to consider using the church parking lot to drop off/pick up your children.  Some parents find this to be a better alternative than using the front of the building. We appreciate your help with keeping all of our students safe. The safety of your children is one of our top priorities!

It is time to elect the School Community Council members for the 2023-2024 school year.  We are in need of parents/guardians that are willing to serve.  The Community Council meetings will be held on the second Tuesday of every month from 7:00-8:00am.

We currently have three 2-year openings and one 1-year opening for parent positions.  Candidate forms are due September 15, 2023 and elections will be held on September 18-20, 2023.  We invite all parents/guardians to vote for a representative for the Community Council on the above three days.  See the attached documents for more information. 

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the office.  We are happy to help you! 

Go Wildcats!
