Hello, Westridge Families! 

As we approach the final weeks of the quarter, I want to remind everyone that Spring Break will take place March 16–20. Please note that grades will be finalized before we leave for the break, so it is very important that all assignments are completed and turned in on time. This is the perfect opportunity for students to check their grades, communicate with teachers, and make sure they have submitted any missing work. Let’s finish this quarter strong and take pride in the effort we put forth each day.

When we return, 4th quarter will begin on March 23. This last quarter is a fresh start and an opportunity to set new goals, refocus, and finish the school year with confidence. Every day counts, and every effort matters. I encourage our students to stay motivated, stay organized, and remember that hard work always pays off. Together, we can make this final quarter our best one yet.

February 26 – Oak Ridge HS Registration Day (8th Grade only)

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.

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.
