Hello, Westridge Families! 

 

As we move further into the school year, I want to take a moment to share a few important updates and reminders. 

 

Report Cards – Time to Improve Grades 

We are quickly approaching the end of the grading period, but there is still plenty of time for students to improve their grades before report cards are issued. I encourage all students to stay focused, complete assignments on time, and take advantage of any extra help or tutoring opportunities available. Let’s finish strong! 

 

Boys’ and girls’ volleyball tryouts will be held on Tuesday, October 8th. All students interested in trying out must have a current physical on file with the school before participating. Please make sure this is completed in advance so your child is eligible to join. 

 

We will begin Progress Monitoring Assessment (PMA) testing for Civics, Science, Algebra, and Geometry on Monday, September 30th. It is important that students come to school on time, well-rested, and prepared to do their best. 

 

Thank you for your continued support and partnership in helping our students succeed. Together, we can ensure they are prepared academically, socially, and personally for the future.

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.

Cooperation means working together with others to reach a common goal. It’s when people listen, share ideas, and help each other so that everyone can succeed.

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.

Students should not be on campus prior to 8:45 AM. If you need to drop off prior to 8:45 AM, please register your student for the YMCA Before School Program. Information can be found here. In addition, the first period begins at 9:30 AM.  

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. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact the following:

Athletic Director - Ms. Johnson Shawnette.Johnson@ocps.net

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.
