From Principal Hawkins:

Hello Westridge Parents!

Thanks for your patience this past week as we implemented our secured vestibule system.  If you need to drop your children off late, please remind them that the inner doors will be locked, and they will need to use the call button on the east wall to get into the building.  Also, in the next few weeks, you will need to start bringing your state-issued ID with you to enter the building.

Due to Fall Break and Teacher Professional Development, there will be NO school from Thursday, October 13 through Tuesday, October 18. 

We need assistants to help students with their IEP goals and help with math remediation and extension for 1st through 6th-grade students. Please help spread the word to your family, neighbors, and friends. You can find more details and apply for these positions online here.

Enjoy your Fall Break!!

Go Wildcats!

We are coming up on our first Book Fair for the year! We are setting up Friday October 28, and then the Book Fair itself will be November 1 – 4. We would love volunteers to help the students buy fun books. Click the link to sign up here Remind your kiddos if they have a birthday this month to check the bulletin board in the east hall for their name.  They can then take that to the office for a special birthday treat.    If you are new to the school and your child has yet to receive a Westridge t-shirt please reach out to us via email with a way they have been respectful, responsible, or safe, and we will make sure they get one.   Weekly Faculty Room Treats: sign up here
