Principal’s Message

Hello, Westridge Families! 

Welcome back! I hope everyone enjoyed a restful and joyful winter break filled with time spent with family and loved ones. As we return, I want to thank our students and families for the continued support and partnership that make our school community so strong. Report cards will be coming out soon, and they serve as a great opportunity to reflect on progress and set new goals for the months ahead.

Third quarter begins on January 6th, and this is the perfect time to start off on the right foot by staying organized, keeping up with assignments, and asking for help when needed. Every new quarter is a fresh start and a chance to grow, improve, and challenge yourself. Let’s approach this time with a positive mindset, determination, and pride in our work. Together, we can make this quarter one of focus, success, and continued achievement.

Best Regards,

Nicole L. Jefferson
