Keeping you connected
Parents,
Please speak to your student about staying on campus during the school day. Once a student gets on a bus or is dropped off in our parking lot, they are OUR responsibility! They are NOT allowed to leave at any time to go to 7/11 or leave to take a walk.
Students are NEVER to open a door for anyone, at any time. All visitors MUST enter through the front doors/main office. Even if they know the student, they are not to open the door. Unfortunately, not everyone always has good intentions.
County Policy
Students will not be allowed to enter any classroom with a bookbag. This is a county policy, not a Westlake policy. Any student that does not abide will receive consequences. Please encourage students to use their locker. If they need assistance, tell them to come to the main office and we will gladly assist them.
No outside food, Door dash or Uber eats
Dress Code Policy
The CCPS Code of Student Conduct committee updated the student dress code for the new school year. Students will no longer be permitted to wear any top or shirt that does not fully cover their midriff area. The dress code emphasizes the role of parents and their responsibility to ensure their child is coming to school each day dressed appropriately. The update is outlined in the 2024-2025 Code of Student Conduct.

CCPS meals prepayment system moves to MySchoolBucks
CCPS meals prepayment system moves to MySchoolBucks Charles County Public Schools (CCPS) has moved its meal prepayment system to MySchoolsBucks for the 2024-2025 school year. The system replaces MyPaymentsPlus and is accessible at any time. Parents with existing MySchoolBucks accounts can log into the system and load money by credit/debit card or e-check to their child’s meal account. With the new platform, parents are not able to divide funds between a meal account and a general account (used to buy a la carte items). Any money left on student accounts was moved to the new platform. Visit www.myschoolbucks.com to access or create a new account. Parents creating new accounts must know their child’s six-digit student identification number. The number is in ParentVue, on the main page for the desktop version, and under the main student menu in the mobile app (click on the three lines in the lower left-hand corner to view student’s ID which will show their ID number). A free MySchoolBucks mobile app is available in Google and Apple stores. The app icon is blue with My School Bucks written in white text in the square.
