Message from the Principal

Dear Westwood Families,

As September comes to a close, I want to celebrate the many successes we’ve seen together this month. From the hard work in classrooms to the special moments that bring our school community to life, your children have accomplished so much in a short time.

As we step into October, we do so with hope, excitement, and a shared commitment to making this school year one filled with growth, joy, and success for every student. Thank you for your partnership and support—it makes all the difference!

Westwood Staff at Alzheimer's Association Walk

Westwood Staff Walks for Hope!

This weekend, Westwood staff proudly represented our school by supporting the Alzheimer’s Association through the annual Alzheimer’s Walk. By joining together, we showed what it means to be merchants of hope—carrying the banner not only for our students but for our entire community.

Fueling champions, one bite at a time!

Our amazing PTO treated teachers to delicious appetizers for Tailgate Friday! They continue to champion for teachers and carry the banner for Westwood. Thank you, PTO!
