Westwood Families,

We are so excited to welcome our Wildcats back for another wonderful school year! Here are a few important reminders for the week ahead:

📋 Class lists will be posted tomorrow, Monday, August 3, at noon outside Door 1.

🏫 Back to School Night is tomorrow evening from 5:30–7:00 p.m. This is an open-house-style event, so families may come at their convenience during that time. We encourage you to stop by, meet your child’s teacher, visit the classroom, and drop off school supplies.

We are also creating a Summer Smiles Bulletin Board! Families are invited to bring a printed photo of a favorite family adventure or memory from this summer. Photos can be added to the bulletin board during Back to School Night.

🚌 Families who still need to arrange bus transportation should contact the Transportation Office at 521-7235.

🎒 The first day of school for students in kindergarten through fifth grade is Wednesday, August 5. Doors will open at 7:30 a.m. Our staff will be ready to welcome students and help them find their classrooms. To help us begin our morning safely and smoothly, parents and guardians will not be able to walk students to their classrooms. We know first-day goodbyes can be emotional, so please plan to share hugs, pictures, and encouraging words before your child enters the building.

Tiny Trojan families: Your child’s first day of school is Thursday, August 6, at 8:30 a.m.

We cannot wait to see our Wildcats and begin another amazing year together!
