Hello, Westridge Families! 

We are excited to share some great news from our athletics program. Our girls basketball team earned their first win of the season, showing determination, teamwork, and school pride—congratulations to our players and coaches on this accomplishment. Our boys basketball team also competed with heart and perseverance, fighting hard until the final buzzer even though the outcome did not go their way. We are proud of the effort and sportsmanship both teams continue to demonstrate.

As we move further into the school year, our high school partners will be visiting campus to meet with students and begin the course request process. This is an important time for our students as they begin planning for the next phase of their academic journey. If you have questions about which high school your child is zoned for or will be attending, please do not hesitate to reach out to Mr. Singletary, who will be happy to assist you.

As always, thank you for your continued support and partnership. Together, we are building a school community where students are encouraged to grow, strive, and believe in themselves. Every day is an opportunity for progress, and with dedication, teamwork, and a positive mindset, our students will continue to achieve great things.

As we move through this busy and important season, I want to thank our families for your continued partnership and support. With focus, determination, and encouragement from home and school, our students can finish strong and take pride in how far they have come. Together, let’s keep pushing forward and reminding our students that their hard work today is building the foundation for a bright 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.

Empathy is the ability to understand how someone else is feeling and to show care and kindness toward them. It means putting yourself in another person’s shoes and responding in respectful and supportive way.

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.
