The Shamrock Blast 8/13/2026
The Official Newsletter for WWS
WWS celebrated the grand opening of Cool Creek Elementary on August 11, marking a new chapter for a building that has served generations of Westfield families. Formerly Westfield Intermediate and Washington Elementary, the renovated school will welcome its first students August 17 and continue a longstanding tradition of learning and growth.
WWS’s new Transportation Center gives transportation staff expanded space for daily operations, driver training, collaboration, and professional development as they serve a growing number of students and families.
As we begin another school year, I find myself thinking about what it means to be a community. Westfield Washington Schools is more than a collection of buildings, classrooms, programs, and activities. We are a community of students, families, educators, staff members, and neighbors connected by something important: a shared commitment to our children and their future.
Two WMS students represented Westfield on the national stage at the FCCLA National Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C. Incoming eighth graders Rivika Srivastava and Henry Stinson competed in events that turned months of research and hands-on work into real-world projects, with Rivika earning second place nationally in her event.
