Hello, Westridge Families!

Welcome back to what is sure to be another amazing school year at Westridge Middle School! I hope you all had a relaxing and rejuvenating summer filled with meaningful memories and time with loved ones.

As we step into this new academic year, I want to begin by celebrating an incredible achievement. Last year, Westridge Middle School was just ONE point away from earning a school grade of a “B”! This marks the highest school grade in the history of Westridge, and it’s a reflection of the hard work, dedication, and resilience of our students, staff, and families. We are so proud of this milestone and are more motivated than ever to keep climbing. This year, we are setting our sights on that “B” and beyond!

Our theme for this year is “Boots on the Ground: Saddle up for success” Whether it’s academics, attendance, behavior, or personal growth, we are focused on helping each student grow and thrive. With your continued support, there is no limit to what we can achieve.

We’re also excited to welcome new staff members to the Westridge family and to share new programs and opportunities that will further enrich your child’s middle school experience. Be on the lookout for updates, events, and ways to get involved—we want our community to feel connected, informed, and empowered every step of the way.

Here’s to a year of progress, partnership, and pride in our Westridge Family.

Best Regards,

Nicole L. Jefferson

Proud Principal
