Stronger Together: Midterm Highlights & Next Steps for WHS🍀
Happy Trimester 1 Midterm, Westfield High School families! We are so proud of our students for embracing our new personal device expectations, staying present in class, and making attendance a daily priority. From winning on the athletic fields to connecting through over 100 clubs and activities, our Rocks are truly shining beyond the classroom. As we enter the second half of the term, now is a fantastic time to sit down with your student to review grades, celebrate their wins, and target areas for growth. Be sure to ask them how they can intentionally use their "Core" flex time for extra practice, tutoring, or relearning. Thank you for your continued partnership as we work together to keep WHS strong! Make sure you check out the video above for more information!

TalkingPoints-Family Communication
Westfield Washington Schools use a program called TalkingPoints to communicate with families! TalkingPoints allows for seamless multilingual two-way communication between teachers and families. Families can choose to receive messages via SMS text messaging or through the free FAMILIES | TalkingPoints mobile app for Apple or Android.
This platform has enhanced translation capabilities, so families can receive and send messages in their preferred language. Additional tools like speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and closed captioned videos make this program accessible to all of our Westfield families.
The most important thing you can do to ensure you are receiving messages from your child’s teacher is to make sure your contact information for the “Father” and “Mother” fields in PowerSchool is correct. When a teacher sends out a message, TalkingPoints will automatically use those two phone numbers. If you’d like to add additional contacts, please reach out to your child’s teacher.
