Hello, Westridge Families! 

As we continue into the 4th and final quarter of the school year, we are reminded that these last nine weeks before summer are critical for student success. This is the time to stay focused, remain consistent, and give full effort each day. We encourage families to continue monitoring grades and supporting students in completing assignments and preparing for assessments. Finishing strong will make a lasting difference as we close out the year.

Track and field season is in full swing, and we are proud of our student-athletes who are representing our school with dedication and perseverance. We invite all families to come out and support our teams at upcoming meets and cheer on our athletes as they compete. Your encouragement helps motivate them to do their very best.

As we move through these final weeks, let’s stay committed to our goals and continue striving for excellence. Success comes from effort, determination, and a belief in what is possible. Let’s work together to make these last nine weeks meaningful, productive, and full of growth for every student.

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.

Self-Discipline means controlling yourself so you do what you are supposed to do, even when you don’t feel like it.

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.
