Next week we will have two safety drills. All students will practice bus safety and learn how to evacuate a bus in an emergency. We will also have our lockdown drill. More information about the lockdown drill is included below.

Donuts with Dudes
Westfield students are invited to bring significant adult male figures in their lives to a breakfast on Friday, October 4, from 8 to 8:30 a.m. This is a chance to spend time together over donuts and learn about the Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) program, which will begin soon. WatchDOGS is a great opportunity for dads and father-figures to spend a half day at school with their kids. Please return the form to RSVP by September 26.
CCSD 89 students get in free to Friday’s Glenbard South football game
CCSD 89 students who wear their school colors can get in free to the Glenbard South football game on September 13, which is “Raider Pride” night.

FirstView app helps families keep up with bus travel
Many CCSD 89 families can now track their student’s bus trips to and from school through the free FirstView busing app. Parents can download the FirstView app, which will show an estimated number of minutes until the bus will arrive at a bus stop and when buses arrive at school. Families should search for “FirstView” on the app store. (Please note: there is also a “FirstView 1.0” app that will not show CCSD 89 bus routes.)
The app only works for students riding First Student buses. It is not available for special education (Hopewell) transportation, early or late buses, or student field trips.
