Week of 10.21.19

Westlake Parents and Guardians:

Earlier this month you received an email announcing that all schools in the Five Star District will be administering the first Social-Emotional Learning Survey this year. I am writing to let you know that Westlake Middle School students will receive the survey between October 21st and November 8th. 

Our school is committed to increasing social-emotional resources and support for all students. In alignment with our community-driven strategic plan, ELEVATE, we are excited to provide students with a survey that will allow us to measure the impact of those resources on our students’ social-emotional learning. Although this survey does not collect personally identifiable information, it does allow us to view feedback trends and patterns across our school that will inform how we approach social-emotional learning for all students.   

If you have any questions regarding the survey, I encourage you to look at the following:

 

Thank you for your participation in this survey. We are excited to learn more about the social-emotional needs of our students in order to provide them with the best possible educational experience. 

Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions at: 720.972.5200

Composer Works with Westlake Band Students

Jeff Herwig, a composer and music teacher in Pennsylvania, worked with our 7th grade bands recently as a way for our students to learn a new compositional technique.  Mr. Herwig was kind enough to devote some time with the class via video conferencing so that the students could ask questions directly to the composer and get feedback on their performance. He seemed impressed with how the students did and posted about it on his official Facebook page.  Check out the link above showcasing the work our 7th grade bands did!
