Dear Westmoor community,
It is undeniable that we have just concluded a particularly challenging election season. I know that many of you are feeling anxious and tense about the election results, and are concerned about how it may affect our families, communities, and our personal futures. Furthermore, I'm well aware that many of our students are wondering about the very same things, and are still working on how to process the election results.
We also understand that we have a diverse student body, not only in backgrounds and culture, but also in political engagement and alignment. Some of our students will be just finding out about the election this week, while others may have come to school with heightened emotions after watching a long election season. Having said that, I encourage each of you to have conversations with your students, if they are engaged with the election process. To that end, I would like to recommend the following resources from the San Mateo County Office of Education. They contain parent resources, and discussion guides for political discussion.
Many things will be changing in this country moving forward, but I am heartened by the fact that our mission here will always remain the same: To support any and all students that come through our doors, as we guide them towards success. Thank you for your commitment in keeping our school a place where students feel safe, understood, and respected.
Best regards,
Westmoor Administration Team
