Westwood students are RESPECTFUL 🤝, RESPONSIBLE 👏, and SAFE 👷

This week: Start having conversations with your student(s) about what it means to be RESPONSIBLE 👏 while taking a test 📝.

Here are some point to talk about:

• I can be responsible while taking a test by trying my hardest 💪
• I can be responsible while taking a test by reading my questions more than once 🧐
• I can be responsible while taking a test by checking my answers carefully ✅
• I can be responsible while taking a test by asking questions if I don't understand directions 🙋🏻‍♂️

Thank you for having these conversations with your student. Our tests and assessments are one of the best ways for us to understand where your student is at and what else they might need help with.

Thank you for supporting OUR student(s). Together, we can help to guide our students into being successful citizens in the world.

As a safety reminder, when picking up or dropping off your student, please use our drop-off loop (the staff parking lot is not for student drop-off) and pull as far forward as possible when in line with your vehicle. This supports a smooth drop-off and pick-up process.

🚗 Parents should stay in their vehicles and pull up to the student drop-off zone during this time. Please do not leave a vehicle unattended in the drop-off loop at any time. If you need help, wave down a staff member and we will be happy to assist you. Thank you for doing your part to keep our students safe.

Additionally, please be sure that your students have the proper car seats, booster seats, or seatbelts as required by California State Law. Let us know if you need help or resources to keep your student safe. 💺✅

We are excited to announce that this year, families are able to verify their child's elementary school teacher and secondary school class schedule through our online data confirmation process. Starting on July 19, 2024, at 10:00 AM, parents who have completed the online data confirmation will be able to access this information. We encourage all parents to complete the online data confirmation process by following the instructions in the flyer below.

This important step will allow you to update your child's emergency contact info while also helping to support our school site with additional funding!
