Cougar Update

Jan. 15 - 4:15 pm - 7th Grade Boys Basketball at Walnut

Jan. 15 - 4:15 pm - 8th Grade Boys Basketball at Westridge vs Walnut

We are excited to share that all 8th grade students will be attending tours on January 26th. Students will visit GISH, CCC, and CPI to learn more about their options for high school and beyond.

Please be sure your student arrives at school on time (7:50 a.m.) on January 26th, as buses will be leaving promptly. Due to the agenda buses cannot wait for late students. If possible, we ask that you avoid scheduling appointments or early pick-ups for this day so students can fully participate in all tours.

In addition, course selection folders will be sent home on January 22nd. Please review the information with your student, complete the required forms, and return them to school as soon as possible.

Students will be selecting their classes for freshman year, based on the discussion they had with parents/guardians. During school on January 27th–29th GISH counselors will be at Westridge completing course selections for the 2026/2027 school year.

Thank you for your support as we help students prepare for this important next step. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to Mr. Cron or Ms. Gutierrez.

Fabulous news! The deadline to order a yearbook has been extended! The new deadline is Jan. 30th, so get yours today by clicking here. Also, by popular request, we will be doing cash sales before school on Jan. 13th and 15th outside of the main office.

Student ID Reminder

To help keep our building safe and organized, all students will receive a student ID on the first day of school. IDs must be visibly worn on the upper body at all times while in the building.

A few things to know:

• Students will exchange their temporary ID for a permanent one about a week after school pictures are taken.

• If a student forgets their ID, a temporary sticker ID can be purchased in the main office for $1.

• Need a new lanyard? They’re available in the main office for $1.

• If an ID is lost, students can get a replacement ID and lanyard for $5.

Thank you for helping us keep Westridge safe and running smoothly!

We love celebrating our students and understand that special occasions are important! However, to minimize disruptions during the school day, Westridge is unable to accept deliveries such as DoorDash, gifts, or flowers for students at school.

Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to keep the school day focused and distraction-free!

To help ensure we maintain a positive momentum at Westridge, we wanted to share a friendly reminder about the “Dress for Success” district dress code.

Your students deserve to be confident AND prepared while at school. Part of those preparation efforts include dress code.

• Apparel must comply with health and safety codes and not detract from learning.

• For all students, mid-thigh to top of chest are to be covered while also concealing undergarments.

• Approved religious attire or protective headwraps are approved. At this time, due to safety - hoods, caps, bandanas, durags, etc. are not approved to wear while in school buildings.

• IDs must be worn and be visible at all times.

Feel free to explore the full dress code policy on the district website HERE and our handy “Dress for Success” flyers in English and Spanish.
