School-wide Book Club information below!!!
We want our students to learn about cultures and creativity around the world. So we wanted to provide opportunities for them to make various arts/crafts or playing games and use their STEM skills doing it. Please let us know how you would like to participate in our upcoming Multicultural Arts Fair by answering a few questions on our survey below.
Applications are now open!
We need your help!
Lunch Menu
We have a $25 School Supply fee & a $20 Chromebook insurance fee
The "Text Alerts Sign-up" is a handy feature that lets additional family members and staff stay in the loop with all the latest parent notifications for their school.
Be sure to follow the below link for your student's school to ensure your entire Springdale Family remains informed this school year!
School-Based Dental Clinic
Springdale Public Schools has partnered with Community Clinic to open a Dental Clinic at Parson Hills Elementary!
A bilingual hygienist provides cleanings, fluoride/sealants, and X-rays—all during the school day! No need for parents to miss work! Once the consent paperwork is completed, students can receive care at school.
Our School Day
Our office is open from 7:20 am to 4:00 pm. We open the doors to our building at 7:20 am and school starts right at 7:45 am. Dismissal is at 3:10 pm every day except Wednesday when we have early dismissal at 1:50 pm.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Car Riders:
If you have students in grades Kindergarten through 2nd grade, your students will need to be dropped off and picked up in the front of the building.
If you have students in grades 3rd-5th your students will need to be dropped off and picked up on the east side of the building.
If you have children in K-2 and 3-5, they will use the front car rider line.
For the safety of all students, please have their car tag hanging on the rear view mirror.
Teachers and support staff will be available to help students find their way to their classroom the first few days of school.
As you can see on the graph below, because of the construction taking place, we are getting a temporary drive.
Please be aware that the exit will continue to be a right turn only during arrival and dismissal time.
Walkers, walkers, walkers… and bike riders. Please read carefully
Students who are walkers or bike riders will follow the yellow walkway as shown on the graph above.
Students will stay on the sideway on McRay Ave and cross on the crosswalk closer to Dyer St.
We will continue to have a cross guard at the crosswalk.
We also ask that students and their families refrain from crossing in front of the building on McRay Ave.
Please do not cross McRay in the middle of the street. Make sure to use the crosswalk.
We will communicate with you as soon as these procedures change based on construction updates. We appreciate your patience as we work through all of these items on the first days of school. Our students' safety is our number one priority. We cannot do it without your help!
Lunch information
How do I receive information from Westwood?
PHONE CALLS: We also send out phone calls through an automated system; you will receive these calls if your phone number is correct in Registration Gateway. If your number changes, you can update the information in Registration Gateway, or call the office to update.
SOCIAL MEDIA/WEBSITE: The weekly parent update and other announcements/stories are also posted on our school's Facebook page and website. We are working on activating our school's Instagram account also- we'll let you know when that's up and running.
PAPER NOTES: We also send out paper notes at times; most of these will be sent in folders that come home every Tuesday. Every now and then, we need to send information on other days, so it's a great practice to check the backpacks each afternoon/evening.
We don't want you to miss any information, so we put things out in lots of ways!
