Westfield families:
Along with building classroom community, students are beginning to explore the academic expectations for their classrooms. Families will have a chance to hear more about what the kids will be learning this year at Curriculum Night on Wednesday, September 4th from 6:30-8:00 p.m. We hope to see you there!
Don't forget there is no school on Monday in celebration of Labor Day. We will see you on Tuesday!
Enjoy the long holiday weekend!

Curriculum Night - September 4
Join us on Wednesday, September 4 from 6:30-8:00 p.m. to learn about what your child will be learning this year. There will be a presentation for all families at 6:30 p.m. in the gym, followed by two sessions with the teachers in their classrooms. The same information will be presented at both sessions, so families with more than one child may attend two different sessions.
Labeling items brought to school
Articles of clothing, boots, tennis shoes, backpacks, and lunch boxes should be marked with the child’s name and grade or room number so they may be returned if lost. A lost-and-found is located at each school and children should check this as soon as they lose an item. Parents are encouraged to occasionally go through the lost-and-found.
Parents needed to review district’s pre-approved food list
The district is looking for at least one family member from each CCSD 89 school to review the district’s pre-approved food list. This is a list of safe classroom foods that is used anytime snacks are handed out in school. Anyone interested in reviewing this list should contact CCSD 89 district nurse Araceli Orozco at aorozco@ccsd89.org or (630) 545-3260.
