Congratulations to our Westridge 8th grade students that placed in the short story contest at the NE State Fair! From left: Ava and Briella received Honorable Mention; Lila placed fifth and Audrey placed fourth.

All 7th grade students are required to have a completed 7th grade physical and updated immunizations on file. This is a state requirement for every student, not just those planning to participate in sports. Please be sure your child’s documentation is submitted to the school as soon as possible.

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.
