Message from the Principal

Dear Westwood Families,

I hope you enjoyed a wonderful fall break filled with family, friends, and all things fall! We’re ready to finish October strong.

As we return, there’s so much happening around Westwood—students diving into new learning, teachers connecting with families during conferences, and classrooms buzzing with excitement for upcoming events and celebrations. It’s a season full of energy and purpose, and we’re thankful for the teamwork that makes it all possible.

Together, our Westwood community continues to grow stronger as we learn, celebrate, and support one another.
