Week of 01.28.19

Dear Westlake School Community:

I’m really looking forward to this week!  On Tuesday, we will be hosting the other middle school principals as we all work together to learn how to best implement teaching and learning practices for the best interest of our students.  I’m excited to open up our doors to my district colleagues and also to the ideas that come from inviting others into our work.

Over the course of this year Westlake has been working on developing skills around inviting students into the learning process more through the use of identifying what students should know or be able to do by the end of the lesson, how students will know they are making progress in their learning, and the use of questioning strategies to elicit evidence of learning.  Ask you child(ren) about the learning targets and success criteria being used in their classrooms and how these elements

are helping their learning.  I’d love to hear what you find out as well!

 

Winter Social- Help Needed!

Save the Date! Westlake Winter Social (formerly known as the Winter Dance) is February 8th from 4-5:30pm. Kids will stay after school and will be picked up by parents outside school at 5:30pm. $5 gives you admission, 1 slice pizza, unlimited drinks, and 1 raffle ticket. Additional slices of pizza, snacks and photo booth are $1 and games are 50 cents! The kids won’t want to miss this fun event!
We also need some parent volunteers and donations to make the event a success.  Please follow the SUG link if you can help out!
