Westfield Principal Kristen Ulery
Westfield families:
If your child was absent on the original picture day, or if you would like retakes, picture retake day is on Tuesday, November 12th. If you would like an information form, some are available in the office. Just let you child's teacher or Tessa know that you need one.
Our students have been preparing for Veterans Day with lessons and activities in their classrooms. If you're at the school next week, be sure to check out what the kids made to honor veterans in the hallway by the office. Thank you to all those who have served!
Have a great weekend!
