Week of 12.03.18

Westlake Parents and Guardians:

Happy December!  This time of year is busy and exciting as we near the end of the first half of the year.  There are a number of events happening this week and we look forward to seeing you at Westlake.  Please know that we value our partnership with our parents and guardians a great deal and welcome your involvement in the school.  It truly does take a village to give our children access to the future they deserve.  Below is a link to an article around understanding the middle school brain and how we can support our children to thrive in middle school.

Important change to February Conferences

I wanted to reach out to our parent and guardians to inform you of a schedule change to our Spring conferences.  The WLMS teaching staff will be engaging in professional development around how to support students with Language Development on the morning of February 14th when we originally had a session of Parent Teacher conferences scheduled.  Below is the updated schedule for our Spring Parent Teacher Conferences:
