Message from the Principal

Dear Westwood Families,

As we begin our third full week of October, we’re looking forward to a fun and busy week with our Grands & Friends Breakfast and the Book Fair! It’s always wonderful to see families on campus and to share in the excitement of learning and reading together.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support—it truly makes a difference. Let’s keep championing one another and holding high expectations for excellence in all we do. Our students and school community feel it every day, and together, we’re making Westwood a place where everyone belongs and thrives.

Students enjoyed a schoolwide celebration in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month! They sampled traditional foods and drinks, played an authentic game of Lotería, and colored beautiful cultural artwork. It was a day full of learning, joy, and celebration. We appreciate all of the families who sent in food and drinks and who came to volunteer—we love all the heritage that makes up Westwood!
