Dear Westridge Families,
As we approach the final stretch of the school year, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible support you've shown throughout the year! From chaperoning field trips to volunteering in classrooms, your involvement has been instrumental in creating a nurturing and enriching environment for our students. Your partnership truly makes a difference, and we are so thankful to have such a dedicated community.
This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming back our former Westridge students during the Senior Walkthrough on Tuesday! Seeing these accomplished young adults reconnect with their elementary roots was both heartwarming and inspiring. It served as a powerful reminder of the lasting impact that early education and supportive communities have on our children's journeys. Congratulations to all families celebrating a graduate or a student moving on to the next chapter of their educational path!
As we count down the days to summer, let's continue to cherish these moments and celebrate the achievements of our students. Your continued support and engagement are what make Westridge a special place for learning and growth.
Warm regards,
Steven Wilson
Proud Principal - Westridge Elementary

This year, Prince William County Public Schools took a bold and research-based step forward by adopting the new Cell Phone-Free Education Policy. Beginning in August 2025, all schools will implement a bell-to-bell policy that limits cell phone use during the instructional day. This
decision, shaped by community input and a successful pilot across 33 schools, is rooted in a
shared goal: creating classroom environments where students are fully present—mentally,
emotionally, and socially. The student-created slogan, “Stop the scroll, take control,” reminds us
that this policy is about empowerment, not restriction. It is about reclaiming focus, restoring
meaningful human connection, and giving our students every opportunity to thrive. For more
information, I invite you to review the PWCS FAQ page. We are grateful for your engagement
and look forward to continuing this important work together.
We warmly invite all parents to join our Family Engagement Series, a wonderful opportunity to connect, learn, and grow together as a community.
