Week of 08.26.19

Westlake School Community:

We’ve got the first full week of school under our belts!  Your children have been engaged in learning in their classrooms as well as setting learning goals for themselves.  It is exciting to see kids back in the action of learning at school.  It was also very exciting to meet so many of our parents and guardians at our Back to School Night this past week.  Thank you to our PTO for supporting our school community by providing the lovely BBQ at Back to School Night.

 

The Westlake PTO has been a huge support of our school and has made many things possible either through connecting parents to school or supporting us financially.  In fact, this last year our PTO raised funds to support technology upgrades across our school.  Over the next few weeks you will be hearing about our major PTO fundraiser for this current school year.  In preparation for the fundraiser I am asking members of school community to share how we should focus the money we earn.  Please take a moment to share your thoughts by clicking on the link below.  Thank you for all your support and partnership!

For those of you who have had students come through Westlake previously or are returning students to Westlake much of the information is the same as in past years.  Below I’ve highlighted a few areas to pay close attention to as they may have changed or is something that is always good to look at again.  If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to the school.

  • Cell phones/Electronic Devices
  • Discipline Action
  • Internet Use
  • Student ID’s

Parking Lot Update and Regular Parking Lot Flow

As you know from a previous message sent out to our Westlake families we had some damage occur on the asphalt in the East parking lot.  As a result, we have had to reroute parent/guardian

traffic to the Northwest hug and go lane or 135th.  Repairs are being completed currently on the asphalt and I’m hopeful that we will have access to the East parking lot area again after Labor Day weekend.  I will keep you updated on the progress of the work in the East parking lot and ask that parents/guardians please find an alternate drop off/pick up plan until the East lot is available again.

When using the Northwest hug and go lane please remember to pull as far forward as possible and only use the hug and go lane for drop off or pick up.  Please stay in your car and do not park in the hug and go lane as this impedes the traffic flow and causes our students to be late for class.  Thank you for your help in getting all our students to school safely and on time.
