We will be running a homework help club from 2:45-3:45 on Wednesdays and Thursdays for students in grades 3-5. If you would like your child to participate, you may sign them up using this form. A new form will be sent out every week in the weekly newsletter. You will need to sign up your child(ren) every week. This is intended for students NOT enrolled in ELOP or child care as they have their own homework help.
Students MUST be signed up to attend. All students need to be picked up at 3:45.
Spots are limited and it is based on a first come, first serve basis. Students are expected to work on their homework the entire time. If they complete it early, they can use their chromebook to do IXL or Reflex math. Students can not attend to play or be disruptive as others are trying to work. Please remember if you sign up and don't attend, you are taking the spot of someone else. Therefore, only sign up for the days you will definately attend. If you have more than one child you would like to sign up, please fill out a form for each child.
Homework club ends at 3:45. Please be prompt to pick up your child. If you are able to sign up, there is space. The form will close when Homework Help is full. Click on the button below or HERE.
CVUSD has made major changes for Short Term Independent Study (“STIS”). Our school gets funding from the State based on student attendance. If your student is not present (regardless of reason: excused/unexcused), we do not get paid.
Please remember these changes are new to us also, so we are making our way through the adjustments and getting everyone up to speed. The information has just been announced so please be patient.
STIS is available for families when a student is absent. Once an agreement is signed and schoolwork submitted & graded by the teacher, the absences will be changed to reflect that schoolwork was received and missed days will not be marked against his/her attendance record.
Advantages of doing STIS are your child will accrue attendance (i.e., will be as though he/she were present in class), teacher gets reimbursed for prepared schoolwork, and allows CVUSD to collect funds based on student average daily attendance. There now is NO minimum number of days or NO limitations on reasons for STIS. You may apply for STIS for as little as a single day and for ANY reason (travel, illness, doctor visit, mental health day, etc.). Please consider applying for STIS when your child is absent. We still need prior notice so that the teachers are able to get the work ready for your child and Lindsey is able to get the contract out. If the STIS is for travel, your student will be given the work that they will miss on their last day of attendance before they leave. Students have up to a week after they return to turn in all work missed from their STIS.
*Only 15 STIS days per school year permitted*
Contact our office assistant, Lindsey Roach at lroach@conejousd.org or 805-374-2150 if interested in STIS, have questions, or need additional information.
Please note that due to dietary restrictions, we ask that you not bring in any treats or food to your child's class. If you would like to pass something out, supplies or goodie bags are permitted.
Our Lost & Found is consistently overflowing. One of our shared goals is to raise responsible and independent children. Empowering our kids to take responsibility for their belongings is a crucial step in their growth and development. It helps children develop organization, time management, problem solving abilities and a basic respect for things which will serve them well throughout their lives.
A good practice is asking your kids at pick-up whether they have all of their belongings before departing. If they are missing items, have them go back and locate them.
Let's work together to help us reunite lost items with their owners and teach our children the value of responsibility from a young age!
All lost and found items will be donated at the end of the month.
This is a very exciting year for our students, filled with special activities that your child has likely been looking forward to since Kindergarten. If this is your first child graduating from Westlake Elementary, here is a summary of what is to come:
- Friday, February 7: Bizarre Bazaar Event at WLE. This is a school-wide activity run by the 5th Graders and teachers.
- Monday, June 9: 5th Grade versus WLE staff kickball event.
- Tuesday, June 10: 5th Grade picnic at Triunfo Park. This is a parent-run event.
- Wednesday, June 11: Culmination at WLE (typically at 9:30am). Parents will be asked to help decorate the afternoon prior. After the ceremony there is a short reception hosted by our 4th Grade in the MPR and then students can be dismissed with parents or stay at school.
- Thursday, June 12: Last day of school for everyone! 5th Graders do come to school this day and there is a 12:30pm dismissal for all.
Please click on the link below to find out all of the information you need to know regarding our 5th Grade events including culmination.
Please remember that all absences must be phoned in to our attendance line, via a recorded message at: 805-494-0324
Be sure to state the date and reason for your child’s absence or late arrival, and your child’s teacher or room number. Any unexcused absence is counted as truancy. Students are allowed only three truancies per year before action is taken. Planning ahead with your child will also help to avoid unnecessary tardiness.
Students who arrive on time feel better about school and perform better in the classroom.
