Congratulations to our Students of the Week! Keep up the good work!

Reminder: Please use the designated drop-off lane in the morning so students can exit directly onto the sidewalk. Dropping students off in the drive-thru lane creates a safety concern. Thank you for helping us keep all students safe.

Picture retakes are on Oct. 2nd. Retakes will only be completed for students that ordered pictures and/or were absent on picture day. If you would like a retake, please sign up here.

We are collecting socks starting now through October 15th to donate to Willow Rising, a local community agency that supports victims of domestic violence. Willow Rising provides counseling, legal aid referrals, safe shelter, transportation, support groups for adults and children, and helps families meet basic needs such as clothing, food, and shelter.

This year, Cougar Times classes will compete to see who can collect the most socks—so bring yours in and help your class win!

Send your students to school with any NEW socks now through October 15th!

Yearbook ordering is now available. Current cost is $30. Order now before it is too late. The link to order is here.

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.
