Week of 11.06.17

Westlake Parents and Guardians:

Daylight Savings has ended and I hope you all remembered to set your clocks back.  I also hope you found a great use for the additional hour you experienced over the weekend.  I always feel it is a gift of time in the Fall when we set our clocks back and I can get more out of my day.  This looks to be a great, short week with Veterans’ Day observance on Friday.  Please check out the following information and let us know if you have any questions.

Gifted and Talented Testing

Testing for students to be considered for Gifted and Talented identification will take place in January.  If you are interested in having your student tested, we will need the two attached forms submitted no later than Friday December 1st.  If you have additional testing data or paperwork that you want considered, you may submit that as well.
Since we have to have teachers fill out paperwork and gather testing data, we will not be able to take any forms after this deadline.  If you have any questions, please contact Michelle Cantwell at can003515@adams12.org, or Christy Smith at smi019942@adams12.org

Change of Date- School Improvement Team

Due to some scheduling conflicts the next SIT meeting will be November 29th from 6-7pm in the library.  All interested parents/guardians are welcome to attend and we hope to see you there!

Coffee with the Principal

Please join me this Tuesday at 9:30am for Coffee with the Principal.  We will be looking at various aspects of our school and visit some classrooms for you to experience what your child is experiencing during their day at Westlake Middle School.  See you on Tuesday!

 

Thanksgiving Food Drive

Westlake has started its Thanksgiving Food Drive to benefit our local community.  This Drive lasts until November 9th.  We are asking for items to make a Thanksgiving meal- sweet potatoes/potatoes, green bean casserole, dessert, turkey and veggies are some of these items we hope to provide for families in need.  Please checkout the Westlake website page for more specifics on food items needed.  Food is given a point value and the competition is between first hour classes for each grade level.  Turkeys will come in the last few days of the drive, if you are planning on donating a turkey please let your teacher know ahead of time.  Thanks for your generosity Westlake!
We are also planning for a toy drive for Holiday needs.  We are looking for elementary and middle school aged items to support these families during the difficult time around the holidays.  Keep checking back for posted materials as we get closer to the end of the food drive.
