Message from the Principal

Dear Westwood Families,

October always seems to be the month when everything happens at once—conferences, field trips, report cards, and celebrations. It’s a busy and exciting time for our school community! In the middle of it all, I encourage everyone to pause, rest, and breathe. Taking time to recalibrate helps us all—students, staff, and families—stay centered and continue giving our best to one another. We’re grateful to partner with you in making this a great month of learning and growth!
