Message from the Principal

Dear Westwood Families,

I hope your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving break and enjoyed time of rest, gratitude, and togetherness. As we enter December—a season of peace, hope, and love—I want to extend those warm wishes to each of you.

We have lots of activities happening around the school this month as we continue our commitment to excellence while also spreading love and cheer throughout our building. It’s a special time of year, and we’re excited to share joyful experiences with our students and families.

We’re grateful for your partnership and look forward to a meaningful month together.

Alesa Smith

Our students enjoyed one of their favorite events of the year—Zoo to You! Thanks to our wonderful PTO for sponsoring this experience. Students loved learning about the animals and getting to see them up close and first-hand.

A huge thank-you to our PTO and the Playground Committee for sponsoring the fundraiser supporting our upcoming playground renovation. We are so grateful for their dedication and for always partnering with us to make Westwood an excellent place for our students to learn and grow.

We are thankful for our staff who volunteered and supported Dalton’s annual Gratefull Dalton event. This tradition brings together all members of our Dalton community for a meaningful time of togetherness and thankfulness.
