The World of Westwood Wolves
Choose Your Own Adventure!
Jan. 24-28, 2022
From the principal's office...
We had a busy four day week at Westwood! We are continuing to work hard even with all the craziness going on around us. We did have fewer probable close contacts from school this week, so that was good news.
Next week is the Great Kindness Challenge! Our new counselor, Mrs. Santillo, will be giving students some ideas of ways to be kind to others. Each grade level will be making a paper chain in the cafeteria; each ring will represent someone from that grade level who was caught being kind. I wonder which grade level will have the longest chain?!?
We've already experienced a couple of little winter weather events; if winter weather is in the forecast, we may send home devices in case we need to have an AMI (alternative method of instruction) day if the roads are unsafe. However, just because we send devices does not mean we will not have school the next day. If school is ever cancelled, we will send out a phone call, text mesage, post on our website and Facebook, etc. If your child tells you we don't have school, please make sure you verify the story. :)
Love,
Mrs. Crumby (your proud principal)

COVID Updates:
- The test to stay length is now 5 days instead of 7.
- Isolation and Quarantine changes: Can return 5 days after the day of exposure, if no symptoms or if symptoms are improving, and continue to wear a mask for 5 more days
- Children who are fully vaccinated (have had both COVID shots) do NOT have to quarantine if exposed (this has always been the rule- just a reminder)
- If your child tests positive or has been exposed, please complete the form on the district website and someone will contact you about a return date. This form is very important because it helps us document attendance so a student will not have unexcused absences. Teachers will gather work so that students can work at home during this time. www.sdale.org/page/covid
- Test-to-Stay is still an option if your child is exposed at school. When we contact you about a possible exposure, we will review your options. However, Test-to-Stay is not an option for household exposures/outside-of-school exposures.
- If you have multiple children, only the child who has actually been exposed has to quarantine. Other siblings do not unless someone in the home tests positive.
