Dear Families,

As we enter October, I want to express my gratitude for your continued support and involvement in our school community.

At Westwood, students excel in our Character Education program, earning recognition and rewards each month for demonstrating our core Wildcat character values.

Our Wildcat Way of the week will be:

To follow directions the first time I am asked.

• When checking out your student, please bring your ID. This will help keep our students safe.
• Please call the front office for any afternoon transportation changes. These changes will be communicated to your student's homeroom teacher.
• Please use the crosswalk when walking through the front parking lot.
• We will have Spirit Friday every Friday, and the Spirit Store will be open on the Fridays of home football games.

We have one bus filled for our 4th & 5th grade coastal trip! We will begin a waitlist to see if we can fill a second bus. See the flyer below for more info!

CHAMPION FOR OTHERS 🖤EXPECT EXCELLENCE 🖤

CARRY THE BANNER 🖤 BE A MERCHANT OF HOPE🖤
