The Warrior Way
February 26th, 2026
The Westview School Corporation recognizes the need for all students to receive an education that stresses the fundamental tools of learning and that maximizes individual potential. The corporation pledges to provide such programs as well as experiences emphasizing social, physical, emotional, and vocational well being. We are committed to the enhancement of self-respect and respect for other, to high performance standards, and to personal responsibility.
Dear Westview Families and Community,
There is something special about the beginning of a new school year! The excitement of students returning to our buildings, classrooms coming back to life, fall activities beginning, and the opportunity for all of us to start fresh together. As I begin my first full school year as Superintendent of Westview School Corporation, I am incredibly grateful and excited for all that lies ahead.
We began this year with an intentional focus on joy, happiness, connection, and taking care of the people who take care of our students.
On our opening staff day, we had the privilege of welcoming Kim Strobel as our keynote speaker. Kim challenged our staff to remember that we must first show up for ourselves before we can fully show up for others. Her message was an important reminder that the energy, joy, and care we bring to our work each day matter, not only for ourselves, but for the students and families we serve.
Our educators give so much of themselves to our students, and we want Westview to be a place where our staff members feel valued, supported, and encouraged to find joy in the important work they do. When our adults are thriving, they are better equipped to help our students thrive as well.
We carried that same spirit of intentional growth into the beginning of our athletic year when we welcomed Dr. Amber Selking, nationally recognized mental performance coach, leadership and culture expert, author of Winning the Mental Game, and former Notre Dame soccer player.
Thanks to the generosity of Interra Credit Union, the Keith Lambright family, and the Westview Athletic Department, Dr. Selking spent time with our student-athletes, families, and coaches discussing what it means to develop a championship mindset. She challenged our Warriors to think about confidence, resilience, preparation, attitude, and the mindset we bring to the opportunities and challenges in front of us. Our coaches also participated in an additional session focused on strengthening team culture and helping student-athletes grow both in performance and character.
These two experiences may have looked different, but their messages fit beautifully together.
Find joy. Take care of yourself and others. Build a positive mindset. Be intentional about the culture you create. Show up ready to grow.
Those are lessons that reach far beyond our classrooms, athletic fields, and courts. They represent the kind of environment we want to create throughout Westview.
As we begin the 2026–27 school year, I hope our families and community feel the same excitement that I do. We have so much to celebrate, so much to look forward to, and so many opportunities ahead to work together on behalf of our students.
Thank you to our families for trusting us with your children, to our staff for the incredible work you do each day, and to our community for continuing to support Westview. I am honored to serve alongside you and cannot wait to see what this year brings.
Here’s to a year filled with joy, growth, connection, and plenty of Warrior pride!
It’s a Great Day to Be a Warrior!
Dr. Jaime Carroll

I am excited to kick off a new recognition opportunity at Westview called WOW Wednesday—Warrior of Westview!
Many people throughout our schools and community notice how hard you work and the positive difference you make each day. WOW Wednesday will give students, parents, staff, alumni, and community members an opportunity to recognize the outstanding people who make Westview such a special place.
Once a month, I will visit every building to surprise and recognize a staff member who has been nominated by someone in our community. The nomination link will also be included in our monthly community newsletter. Staff members are encouraged to nominate their colleagues as well!
Teachers, bus drivers, custodians, secretaries, cafeteria employees, instructional assistants, administrators, coaches, and all other members of our Westview family are eligible to be recognized.
I look forward to celebrating the incredible people who bring that tradition to life each day.
Do you know a Westview staff member who deserves to be recognized? Please use the link below to share their story and nominate them for WOW Wednesday!
Late summer and early fall are also a time when we focus on staff wellness at Westview. Each year, we partner with Parkview’s Wellness Team to provide convenient, on-site opportunities for our employees to complete wellness lab screenings and receive flu shots right here at our schools.
These opportunities are part of our continued effort to support the health and well-being of the people who serve our students each day. Behind the scenes, our Westview Insurance Committee also works diligently to review health insurance options, manage rising healthcare costs, and provide quality benefits for our employees.
Taking care of our staff is one more way we work to keep Westview a healthy, supportive place to learn, work, and grow!
As we begin the 2026–2027 school year, Westview School Corporation is implementing a new bell-to-bell personal device policy. From the beginning of the school day until dismissal, students’ personal wireless devices must be powered off, stored away, and inaccessible.
This policy applies to cell phones, smartwatches, earbuds, gaming devices, tablets, and other personal communication devices. Families who need to reach their child during the school day should contact the school office.
Exceptions will be permitted only for documented medical, safety, translation, IEP, 504 Plan, or administrator-approved needs. We appreciate the partnership of our students and families as we begin the school year with clear and consistent expectations designed to protect instructional time and help students remain focused and engaged in learning.
Our next Westview School Board meeting will be held on September 10 at 7:00 p.m. at the Westview Administration Building.
We welcome members of our community to attend and stay engaged in the important work happening across our schools. Your partnership and involvement matter, and we are grateful for your continued support of Westview.
