PE/Health Department Students of the Month
Mr. Gray chose Tristan Miller as his student of the month. Tristan is a kind, hardworking, and competitive student. He always works hard in Advanced P.E. and gives great effort, no matter what game we’re playing. He is courteous to his peers and always willing to lend a hand for help. He is always persevering, whether his team is winning or losing. He is a great classmate as well as a student and definitely deserves to be recognized for his efforts.
Students who earn the award are given a certificate and a gift card.
Important Reminder
Attention Students: In order to provide a safe and secure environment for all students and staff at Westwood, exterior doors should not be propped open during the school day. We keep doors locked during the day to keep everyone safe and when a door is left open that compromises the safety of everyone. Please do your part in keeping each other safe during the school day. Thank you for your cooperation.
MSP Cyber Crimes Unit Visits WHS
Last week the students at Westwood High School were fortunate to have the Michigan State Police Cyber Crimes Unit speak to them about the importance of using social media networking safely and responsibly. They also spoke about the criminal act of cyberbullying and the impact it can have on all parties involved. These are very important topics for teenagers and we are thankful to the Sgt. Dyson and her team for sharing their knowledge with our students.
