Hello, Westridge Families! 

As we return from Spring Break, we are excited to begin the 4th and final quarter of the school year. It is hard to believe that we are already in the last nine weeks before summer. This is an important time for students to stay focused, continue working hard, and finish the school year strong. Every assignment, test, and effort counts as we head toward the end of the year. We encourage families to continue checking grades and supporting students in maintaining strong academic habits during this final stretch.

Track and field season is now upon us, and we are excited to see our student-athletes competing and representing our school. We invite families to come out and cheer on our athletes as they work hard and showcase their dedication and sportsmanship. Your support makes a big difference to our students.

As we begin this final quarter, let’s remember that the end of the year is not the time to slow down—it is the time to push forward. With focus, determination, and a positive mindset, our students can accomplish great things. Let’s finish the year strong together and make these last nine weeks our best yet.

March 23 – Start of 4th Quarter

March 24 – 6th Grade Field Trip – 6th and Jazz

March 25 – Track and Field – AT Carver 5:00 PM

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.
