Exciting Playground Upgrade Coming!

Last year, our students voted for a long-lasting improvement—and they chose a playground upgrade!

Here’s what to expect:
A complete playground renovation in two phases:
• Phase 1: The field renovation (starting this week!)
• Phase 2: Updates to play structures, blacktop, and more

As we kick off Phase 1:
* Shrubbery will be removed
* The two back swings and a defective slide will be taken out
* Construction fencing is up around the playground perimeter to keep kids safe inside the play area

⚠️ Please note: There may be some days when students will not have access to the playground during recess. On those days, we will provide alternative recess options to ensure students still have fun and stay active!

We’ll keep you posted with updates throughout the construction—watch for the amazing transformation ahead!

Thank you for your support as we make our school an even better place to play and learn!

Our 3rd grade students partnered with United Way for the grand opening of the Little Free Library at Westwood! Through REACH,these students will help keep the little free library filled with books, organized, and cared for. This is a great partnership and project and will help us continue to promote literacy at Westwood and throughout our community!

Our Pre-K through 2nd grade students enjoyed a morning of fun watching the Jonas program. There was lots of juggling and laughs. We are grateful for these additional opportunities for our students to enjoy and learn!

We enjoyed spending time with Grands & Friends for Book Fair and breakfast! Our families are such good partners in their students' learning. We had the best time with our special guests this week!
