Please remind your student to check our Lost and Found for any missing clothing, water bottles, or lunch boxes. All items will be moved to the cafeteria during concert time so parents can look through them as well. Any items not claimed will be donated on December 17. Thank you for helping us keep our school organized.

With the holidays approaching, it can be tempting to start breaks early, but these weeks are crucial for finishing units, reviewing material, and building strong classroom communities. Missing even one day can impact learning continuity. Let's finish this term strong so your student can enjoy their well-deserved time off feeling successful and prepared for the next term. Please aim for 100% attendance until the official start of the break!

Student ID Reminder

To help keep our building safe and organized, all students will receive a student ID on the first day of school. IDs must be visibly worn on the upper body at all times while in the building.

A few things to know:

• Students will exchange their temporary ID for a permanent one about a week after school pictures are taken.

• If a student forgets their ID, a temporary sticker ID can be purchased in the main office for $1.

• Need a new lanyard? They’re available in the main office for $1.

• If an ID is lost, students can get a replacement ID and lanyard for $5.

Thank you for helping us keep Westridge safe and running smoothly!

We love celebrating our students and understand that special occasions are important! However, to minimize disruptions during the school day, Westridge is unable to accept deliveries such as DoorDash, gifts, or flowers for students at school.

Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to keep the school day focused and distraction-free!

To help ensure we maintain a positive momentum at Westridge, we wanted to share a friendly reminder about the “Dress for Success” district dress code.

Your students deserve to be confident AND prepared while at school. Part of those preparation efforts include dress code.

• Apparel must comply with health and safety codes and not detract from learning.

• For all students, mid-thigh to top of chest are to be covered while also concealing undergarments.

• Approved religious attire or protective headwraps are approved. At this time, due to safety - hoods, caps, bandanas, durags, etc. are not approved to wear while in school buildings.

• IDs must be worn and be visible at all times.

Feel free to explore the full dress code policy on the district website HERE and our handy “Dress for Success” flyers in English and Spanish.
