8th Grade Celebration
24-25 Course Selection
Current 6th and 7th grade students will receive their Explore and Enrichment course selection forms on May 7th. The forms will be explained to students and the courses they are selecting are based on student interest. The forms are specific to each student and will have options for interventions and enrichment. Students will be strongly encouraged to bring these forms home to show their parents on May 7th and then return to the school the following day so they do not get lost. Parents will get a reminder message on May 7th. If you would like to arrange a time to meet one on one about your student's course selection please contact the school at (308) 385-5886.
Lost and Found
Please encourage your student to check the lost and found for any missing items. We will be donating anything currently in the lost and found on May 13th to allow room for the locker room lost and found items to be displayed.
Reminders
Student IDs
Students are required to have a student ID visible on their upper body at all times when they are in the building. All students will receive a temporary ID and lanyard on the first day of school. They will need to exchange that temporary ID for their permanent ID approximately 1 week after school pictures are taken. If a student forgets their ID they may purchase a temporary sticker ID in the main office for $1. Students may also purchase a new lanyard in the main office for $1. If a student loses their ID they may purchase a new ID and lanyard for $5 in the main office.
Dress for Success
To help ensure we maintain a positive momentum at Westridge, we wanted to share a friendly reminder about the “Dress for Success” district dress code.
Your students deserve to be confident AND prepared while at school. Part of those preparation efforts include dress code.
Apparel must comply with health and safety codes and not detract from learning.
For all students, mid-thigh to top of chest are to be covered while also concealing undergarments.
Approved religious attire or protective headwraps are approved. At this time, due to safety - hoods, caps, bandanas, durags, etc. are not approved to wear while in school buildings.
IDs must be worn and be visible at all times.
Feel free to explore the full dress code policy on the district website HERE and our handy “Dress for Success” flyers in English and Spanish.
