Hello, Westridge Families!

As we move through the second quarter, I want to take a moment to share how proud I am of the hard work and positive energy happening on our campus each day. Our students continue to show growth, teamwork, and school pride, and it’s wonderful to see classrooms filled with learning and excitement.

As we approach the busy holiday season, I want to remind everyone of the importance of regular attendance—being present and on time every day makes a big difference in academic success. Tardies are being closely monitored, and 4 tardies will earn your student a detention. We appreciate your support in ensuring students arrive to class ready to learn.

Please also take time to check for any missing assignments and get them turned in before Thanksgiving break. Let’s finish these last few weeks strong so everyone can enjoy a well-earned and relaxing holiday with family and friends.

Our teachers have been hard at work preparing engaging lessons and activities. This week, we encourage students to actively participate in class discussions and seek help when needed. Please help us to encourage every student to participate in class. Remember, asking questions is a key part of the learning process!

Want to help your student with their academics. Review these anchor charts with your students for a few minutes a night.

Positive attitude means thinking in a hopeful and cheerful way, even when things are hard. It’s about looking for the good in situations, believing you can do well, and treating others kindly and with respect.

We want to remind everyone about the importance of regular attendance. Being on time and present not only supports your academic success but also fosters a sense of community. Let’s strive for a strong start by making every school day count!

Car riders please make sure to follow the carline and not allow your student to walk through traffic. Safety needs to be our number one priority.

Wanting a Parent/Teacher conference? Reach out to your students' guidance counselor.
