Hello, Westridge Families! 

As we close out an exciting basketball season, we want to recognize our Girls Basketball team for an outstanding year. Their season has officially come to an end, but they fought hard, showed tremendous heart, and represented our school with pride. We are so proud of their effort, teamwork, and dedication throughout the season.

We have just four days left until Spring Break! Let’s make these final days count. Please ensure that all assignments are completed and submitted before we leave. When we return from Spring Break, all grades should be up to date and entered. We will have just nine weeks remaining in the school year, and every day will matter as we finish strong.

A special message to our eighth graders: this is your final stretch before heading to high school. Now is the time to stay focused, work hard, and make sure your scores and grades reflect your true potential. High school is right around the corner, and the habits you build now will carry with you into this next chapter.

Let’s continue to push ourselves to do our best each day. Success is built on consistent effort, positive choices, and believing in your ability to grow. Finish strong, stay focused, and remember—your future is created by what you do today.

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.

Perseverance means not giving up, even when something is hard, frustrating, or takes a long time to finish. 

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.
