Principal's Message
🚨 Safety is always the number one priority for Westwood Elementary School, and we strive to maintain a safe learning environment for our students at all times.
During drop-off and pick-up times, it is so important that we all do our part to maintain that safe environment so that our students can arrive and depart the campus safely.
Here is how you, as a parent/guardian, can help to support all of our students:
- 🚗 Be sure to drive slowly and stay aware of your surroundings in the parking lot
- 🛑 Always use the marked drop-off and pick-up zones located in the larger lot in front of gate
- 👀 Avoid using other drop-off/pick-up areas where there is no supervision provided
- 📢 If there is a problem or safety issue, report it to a Westwood staff member right away
- Avoid getting directly involved in a safety incident and putting yourself at risk 👷
By doing these things, we can all help to keep our students safe.
Thank you for supporting OUR student(s). Together, we can help to guide our students into being successful citizens in the world.

Picking Up and Dropping Off Students
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. 💺✅
