Message from the Principal

Dear Westwood Families,

As we move into the second week of February, we are grateful for the partnership and support of our Westwood families. This time of year can feel long, but our shared commitment to students continues to make a meaningful difference.

This week, we’re focusing on the moments we pause before reacting—the breath we take, the grace we extend, and the calm we model for children. Those small moments help create a safe, supportive, and joyful learning environment.

Thank you for all you do to support our students and school community.

With Gratitude,

Alesa Smith

Students were welcomed with cheers and smiles from our DHS girls basketball team at morning drop-off. These moments of connection make our school community so special.

Our students enjoyed World Read Aloud Day as guest readers joined classrooms across Westwood to bring stories to life. Moments like these help foster a lifelong love of reading.

Congratulations to our Read Bowl winners—Mrs.Chitwood, Ms.Dominguez, and Mrs.Stacy’s classes! We are so proud of their commitment to reading and the excitement they brought to this challenge.

Our Specials Students of the Month were recognized for consistently demonstrating the Wildcat Ways. Way to go—we are so proud of you!

Our staff enjoyed a day of soups, snacks, and desserts thanks to our amazing PTO! The Annual PTO Souper Bowl Luncheon was a wonderful way to celebrate and show appreciation.
