Hello, Westridge Families! 

We are thrilled to share some exciting news from our track and field teams! Congratulations to the Girls team on their outstanding victory last week against Gotha. Their hard work and dedication truly paid off, and we are proud of every athlete who competed. Special recognition goes to our Girls Standouts:

While the Boys team was unfortunately defeated, we still had some remarkable performances to celebrate. Our Boys Standouts include:

We are excited about several upcoming opportunities for our 8th grade students, including the 8th grade dance and Gradventure. These are special events that celebrate the end of middle school and all of their hard work. However, participation in these activities is a privilege. It is important that students maintain positive behavior and strong attendance in order to take part in these events. We want every student to be able to enjoy these memorable experiences.

As we continue through this final quarter, let’s stay committed to making good choices, staying focused, and finishing strong. Success comes from consistent effort, responsibility, and determination. Let’s make the most of these final weeks and end the school year with pride.

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.
