The academy runs June 1–5 and June 8–12 from 9:00 AM–3:15 PM, and students must be able to attend all days. Space is limited, and students will be selected based on interest, curiosity, and leadership potential.

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.
We are going back to the way things used to be for walkers and bike riders only. Please read carefully.
Students who are walkers or bike riders will be dismissed on the far side of the fence on McRay Ave.
We ask that parents do not congregate inside the fence for our students' safety.
We will continue to have a cross guard at the corner of McRay Ave. and Carlton St.
We 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.
Your safety is our number one priority. We will communicate with you as soon as these procedures change based on construction updates. Thank you for your patience as we navigate all the new information coming our way.
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!

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!
