Hello, Westridge Families! 

As we wrap up another exciting week, we want to congratulate Boyd Basketball on a tremendous playoff run. Our teams fought hard and represented our school with pride. We are especially excited to share that our Girls Basketball team won their first playoff game! Their next game will be Monday, 3/2 at 6:00 PM at Sun Ridge Middle School. We are so proud of their determination, teamwork, and heart. Although the boys’ season has now come to an end, we celebrate their effort and sportsmanship throughout the season.

Looking ahead, track tryouts will be held on March 4th. Please remember that physicals are due no later than March 3rd in order for students to participate. Be sure all paperwork is submitted on time so your student is eligible.

This week, students will participate in PMAs for Algebra, Geometry, Civics, and Science. The testing schedule will be shared soon. We encourage students to rest well, eat a healthy breakfast, and come prepared to do their very best. These assessments are an opportunity to show growth and mastery of skills learned this year.

Tutoring continues before and after school. If your student is struggling academically, please reach out to their teacher or guidance counselor for support. We are committed to ensuring every student has the resources they need to succeed.

Let’s continue to push forward with focus and determination. Hard work, preparation, and belief in ourselves will always open the door to success.

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.

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.
