Hello, Westridge Families!

Progress reports went home last Thursday, September 18, 2025. If you have any questions or would like to talk more about your child’s progress, please don’t hesitate to reach out to their guidance counselor to set up a parent-teacher conference. There is still plenty of time for students to grow and improve before report cards go out, with the first quarter ending on October 10.

We also have some exciting events coming up on Tuesday, September 23rd. Our Civics Academic Night will be held from 4:00–5:00 p.m., and we’d love for you to join us as we share helpful tips and resources to support your child in Civics. Later that evening, from 7:00–8:00 p.m., our Band 1 students will take the stage for their showcase. It will be a wonderful opportunity to celebrate their hard work and talent.

Thank you for your continued support — together we can make this a successful and memorable school year! Please remind your child that every day is a new opportunity to learn, grow, and shine. With effort and determination, great things can happen!

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.

Respect means you care enough to think about other’s feelings before you act.

If you expect respect, then be the first to show it!

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.

Volleyball is our next sport. Athletic paperwork and physicals must be completed and properly uploaded in Aktivate. Volleyball practices will be conducted every day for approximately 1.5 – 2 hours after dismissal time. Athletes are expected to attend all of the practices unless they have arranged with the coach otherwise. Athletes are required to have and maintain a 2.0 average and exhibit leadership and good behavior to be considered and remain on any Westridge sports team.

Volunteers must re-register each year through the image link below.

Parents need to opt IN to clinic services. This means that unless you have completed the health forms we will not be able to assist your student in the clinic. Health forms can be completed digitally on Skyward Family Access or you can fill out the forms and turn them into the main office. Those forms can be found below.  

Please make sure all-important parent/guardian information is up-to-date in skyward.
