Cooler Weather Has Arrived!
As the weather continues to cool, this is a friendly reminder from the Westwood staff to ensure that you send your student(s) with what they may need for outdoor activities at times such as recess, lunch, and/or PE.
We highly encourage our students to come with a warm coat or jacket, beanies, and even gloves. For rainy days, a waterproof jacket and an umbrella or hat or great ideas too.
As always, don't forget to have your student(s) put their name or initials on their winter weather gear so that it can be returned to them if it gets lost or misplaced.
We now have a dedicated email address for reporting absences and submitting all related documents:
📧 westwoodattendance@groups.lodiusd.net
Please use this email moving forward for any attendance-related communication. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to call the office — we’re happy to help!
We are excited to be able to provide you our updated handbook for student behaviors and our school policies. Please take some time to review it with your child as it details our school's core values of RESPECTFUL, RESPONSIBLE, and SAFE. Additionally, it includes information about how we strive to acknowledge students when they meet our expectations as well as how we address classroom and school discipline when they do not.

As a safety reminder, when picking up or dropping off your student, please use our drop-off loop (the staff parking lot is not for student drop-off) and pull as far forward as possible when in line with your vehicle. This supports a smooth drop-off and pick-up process.
🚗 Parents should stay in their vehicles and pull up to the student drop-off zone during this time. Please do not leave a vehicle unattended in the drop-off loop at any time. If you need help, wave down a staff member and we will be happy to assist you. Thank you for doing your part to keep our students safe.
Additionally, please be sure that your students have the proper car seats, booster seats, or seatbelts as required by California State Law. Let us know if you need help or resources to keep your student safe. 💺✅
