Hello Westridge Parents!

Thanks for attending Parent Teacher Conferences last week!  We loved meeting with you to discuss your children. 

This is the time of year when winter weather takes a toll on attendance.  Snow and rain can make it hard to get your children to school.  So can illnesses such as colds, flu, fevers, earaches, etc.  Starting tomorrow, if your child is absent, you will need to call the office to excuse their absence.  Absences, even if excused, break the routine of daily attendance, which contributes to students feeling connected and engaged in learning.  We will send attendance letters home to inform you when your child accumulates several absences and/or tardies.  Please know that we love your children and want them in school daily.  

On February 13 and 14, the PTO will sell CandyGrams during lunchtime.  You can purchase Pixy Stix or Desk Pets.  Please see the attached flyer or the PTO section below for more information.  Thanks for supporting this PTO fundraiser. 

Thanks for your continued support!

Go Wildcats!

Candy Grams:  Candy Grams will be sold Monday and Tuesday, February 13 – 14. We will have 3 Pixy Stix for $.50 or a surprise Desk Pet for $1.  We will not have pre-sales, and VENMO is no longer an option.  This year we are cash or check only.  You can print out the flyer and fill out the order form or come in while we are selling during lunch. We look forward to spreading kindness to the students!

We need volunteers to help with Candy Grams and treats for the teachers & staff.  Please use the following links to sign-up.  We would love your help!
