Week of December 9th-13th
Dear Westwood Families,
We had an awesome week back after the Thanksgiving break. During our PACK Pride Assembly on Wednesday, we were able to celebrate students’ November birthdays, Safety awards and PACK Pride Student Awards. Not sure if you can tell but we love, love, love celebrating our Wolves! If you would like to browse the pictures taken during the PACK Pride Assembly, please click on the link below.
Have a WONDERful week!

On Monday, December 9th our 5th grade students will be having a presentation about their bodies and puberty called Everybody Changes. Below is a short video in English/Spanish with a a brief description of the topics that will be covered by the presenters from Reality Check. Please feel free to reach out to Mrs. Santillo, our counselor, if you have any questions.
How do I receive information from Westwood?
PHONE CALLS: We also send out phone calls through an automated system; you will receive these calls if your phone number is correct in Registration Gateway. If your number changes, you can update the information in Registration Gateway, or call the office to update.
SOCIAL MEDIA/WEBSITE: The weekly parent update and other announcements/stories are also posted on our school's Facebook page and website. We are working on activating our school's Instagram account also- we'll let you know when that's up and running.
PAPER NOTES: We also send out paper notes at times; most of these will be sent in folders that come home every Tuesday. Every now and then, we need to send information on other days, so it's a great practice to check the backpacks each afternoon/evening.
We don't want you to miss any information, so we put things out in lots of ways!
Our School Day
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Car Riders:
- If you have students in grades Kindergarten through 2nd grade, your students will need to be dropped off and picked up in the front of the building.
- If you have students in grades 3rd-5th your students will need to be dropped off and picked up on the east side of the building.
- If you have children in K-2 and 3-5, they will use the front car rider line.
- For the safety of all students, please have their car tag hanging on the rear view mirror as we are continuing to use the same dismissal procedures as the last couple of years.
- Teachers and support staff will be available to help students find their way to their classroom the first few days of school.
Walkers:
- Once again this year, students who are walkers or bike riders will be dismissed on the far side of the fence on McRay Ave.
- We ask that parents do not congregate inside the fence for our students' safety.
- We will continue to have a cross guard at the corner of McRay Ave. and Carlton St.
- We ask that students and their families refrain from crossing in front of the building on McRay Ave.
We appreciate your patience as we work through all of these items on the first days of school. Our students' safety is our number one priority. We cannot do it without your help!
