Attention ALL Bus Riders
Please help the school bus drivers by ensuring your child has a mask in his/her backpack so that they can follow the federal mask guideline for transportation.  It helps speed up the process of leaving instead of sending the students back into the school to find a mask.  Thanks for your help in advance!

Attention Kindergarten Parents
The Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT – screening form) will be administered to all kindergarten students in January.  This assessment measures students’ reasoning abilities.  Teachers may utilize the test data to determine effective teaching strategies that will enhance student learning.  In addition, the results of this test will also be used as a part of the criteria for participation in the corporation’s REACH (high ability) program.  We will be utilizing an online format this year, and results should be available soon after all testing is completed.  If you would prefer that your student not be tested, please send a written notification to your child’s teacher.

Mobile Dentist  Postponed
to February 2, 2022

I wanted to let parents know that Westwood will postpone the Mobile Dentist visit scheduled for 11/30/21 during the school day to February 2, 2022.  We may combine with Southwest to ensure that there are enough kids needing dentist work to meet the criteria for the dentist to visit.   We wanted to ensure that all students have access to a dentist.  If you would like your child to have Dental Care.  If interested, please fill out the attached form.

Information to Help Support Westwood PTO & Kids using Amazon Smile

If you will be using Amazon this season, consider using http://smile.amazon.com and using Westwood Elementary School PTO Inc as the group that receives a portion of the sale.  This does not increase the cost of the item purchased, it just gives a small portion back to the school.  The kicker is to remember to use the above website instead of amazon.com.  Thanks for considering this as an easy way to help Westwood.

Information about Subsitute Teaching

Westwood is still in need of substitute teahers.  Please see the following information sheet.
