Message from the Principal

Dear Westwood Families,

As we begin the first week of February, we are excited to celebrate Read Across America and the joy of reading across our school. Throughout the week, we will welcome visitors into our building, giving us a wonderful opportunity to showcase what makes Westwood special—engaged learners, caring relationships, and high expectations for all students. Thank you for your continued partnership and support in making Westwood a welcoming, inspiring place for our students and families.

With Gratitude,

Alesa Smith
