Message From the Principal
Dear Westridge Families,
What a fantastic week it has been! Thank you for partnering with us to support our recent assessments - whether it was helping your child prepare for SOLs, encouraging participation in VALLS, or celebrating their HMH growth. It’s been truly inspiring to see student achievement data reflecting so much progress. These gains speak not only to the dedication and expertise of our teachers but also to the vital role you play at home in reinforcing the importance of learning. We’re grateful for your unwavering support!
A special thank‑you to everyone who joined us for Thursday’s PTA meeting. Your thoughtful contributions and votes in electing the 2025-26 PTA board set the stage for an even stronger collaboration next year. I’m excited about what we’ll accomplish together as we expand membership, volunteers, and stakeholder involvement to reach our shared goals for Westridge.
Finally, we can’t wait to see you at tonight’s Talent Show! A heartfelt thank you to all of our staff who worked behind the scenes to create this memorable event. We look forward to celebrating our students’ talents and making lifelong memories as a community.
Enjoy your weekend and thank you for being such an amazing part of the Westridge family!
Warmly,
Steven Wilson
