Welcome back to Westview! As we start the new year we have a couple reminders 😊 All medication must be brought into school by an adult with completed paperwork. We can not accept any medication without an over the counter form signed by a parent, or prescription medication signed by the physician & parent. Daily prescription medication, or any prescription medication that will require a tablet count, can only be dropped off when a nurse is in the building, 9:45 -3:00. Please reach out to nursing if you need to arrange another time to drop off. All over the counter medication MUST be in an unopened box/container and dosage must meet the requirements on the package for age and dose.

Have a great start of the year!

Car Riders - Students arriving by car will use the front loop of the main drive and should arrive between 8:35-8:50. Students should stay in their car until the bell rings at 8:35 signaling students to enter the building.

Walkers - Students walking to school may enter through the main entrance or the southern doors near the bus loop between 8:35-8:50.

Bike Riders - There are two bike racks at Westview. One near the southern entrance by the bus loop and another bike rack behind the school near the playground. Students riding a bike to school enter the building through the main entrance or southern doors near the bus loop between 8:35-8:50.

Bus Riders - All bus riders will enter the building through the doors near the bus loop.

Dismissal

Car Riders - Car riders will be dismissed from the northeast doors (back of building) at 3:20. Westview utilizes a number system for students getting picked up by car. Complete the Google Form linked HERE to get a number. The number can be picked up during Open House or will be sent home with your child.

Walkers and Bike Riders - Students that live east of Westview will be dismissed from the middle doors opposite the main hallway restrooms. Students that live west of Westview will be dismissed from the bus doors near the southern loop. The only exception is all Kindergarten students walking home will exit the bus loop doors near the Kindergarten classrooms.

Celebrating a student birthday is a fun and important event for young children. We support that excitement and enthusiasm at school without food or treats. Please take a moment to read the birthday policy so all students and parents are knowledgeable of what can be sent to school to celebrate a student birthday.

Two after school options for students to participate in at Westview are Eager Artists and Eager Engineers. This is an optional activity for students and the company uses the Westview Cafeteria for the program.

Dear Westview Families,

Welcome back to another exciting school year! The Westview PTA is ready to make 2026/2027 our best year yet — filled with fun events, community spirit, and meaningful support for our students and teachers.

If you were a member last year, it’s time to renew your membership! PTA memberships must be renewed annually, and joining is quick and easy. Simply visit our membership page here: Westview PTA Givebacks Shop

Your membership helps fund classroom resources, school events, teacher appreciation activities, and so much more. Plus, it’s a great way to stay connected and make a difference in our school community.

We’re also looking for volunteers to join one of our PTA committees! Committees are how we organize events and resources for students and staff — and they’re a wonderful way to get involved, meet other parents, and help shape the experiences that make Westview special. Whether you can give a little time or a lot, your participation makes a big impact. You can sign up for a committee here: 2026-2027 Committee Sign Up.

Our first PTA meeting of the year will be held on Monday, September 14 at 7:00 PM in the Westview Cafeteria. We’ll hear an update from our principal, Mr. Moore, and discuss upcoming activities along with ways to get involved throughout the year. We’d love to see you there.

Let’s keep Westview strong — join or renew today and be part of the team that makes it all happen!

With appreciation,

Westview PTA offers Westview Spirit Wear throughout the school year. Click HERE to see the online store they have partnered with for this school year.
