We are "Howlin' with pride!" over these Wolves!

From the principal's office...

We had another great week at Westwood!


It's hard to believe, but conferences are coming up the last week of September! You should receive your conference appointment time in this upcoming Tuesday folder. Please review it, and if something has changed and you need to reschedule, you can call the office beginning Wednesday. Just be aware that availabilty to reschedule may be limited.


Have you ever wondered what you can do at home to help your children at school? The biggest, most important thing you can do is read to/with your kids! "Starting in kindergarten, if a student reads 20 minutes a day at home, they will hear 1.8 million words per year. They will have read for 851 hours by 6th grade and on standardized tests, they will likely score better than 90% of their peers. This is compelling data on the benefits of encouraging your child to read." (Article- "How Reading 20 Minutes a Day Impacts Your Child").


For our amazing parents who speak a language other than English, you can do all this reading to your child in the language you speak!


Thank you for sending us your children each day- we love our Wolves!


Have a great week!

Mrs. Crumby

Free/Reduced Lunch Forms

The federal COVID relief program that made school lunches free for all students has expired, so we are back to lunch charges. If you think there's a chance you may qualify for free or reduced lunches, please go here and fill out the form online or return the paper forms we sent out in Tuesday folders last week. Lunch prices are $2.45 for full pay and .40 for reduced.

How do I receive information from Westwood?

TEXTS: Click here to fill out a very short form that will add you to our text list. We use text messages to send out these weekly parent updates and reminders. We know texts are a convenient way to communicate for many of you, so please add yourself to the list by filling out this form. Multiple members of the same family can use it and each receive texts. If your phone number changes, you'll need to complete the form for your new number.


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!

Does your child want to use a device at school?

You should have received a letter over the summer as a reminder to update your child's information in registration gateway. The instructions for logging in were in the letter. If you have not done that, your student does not have an updated AUA (Acceptable Usage Agreement) form that we must have to assign a device (iPad or Chromebook) to your child. You'll need to update that ASAP. Here is the link if you need it. You can also come to the office to use one of our iPads if that would help.

Click here for the September lunch menu- we are back to 2 choices for grades 1-5! Kindergarten lunch menus will be sent home separately. Click here for the September lunch menu- we are back to 2 choices for grades 1-5! Kindergarten lunch menus will be sent home separately.
