School will be CLOSED
Friday, January 10, 2025
Due to Inclement Weather
With snow and a wintry mix expected in the forecast, we’ve made the decision to cancel school on Friday, January 10, 2025, to ensure the safety of our students, staff, and families.
This day will not be a digital learning day, so students will not have assignments or online work to complete. We hope this gives your family the opportunity to enjoy a safe and restful day at home.
While we anticipate returning to school as usual next week, we will encourage students to take their laptops and chargers home with them today. This is just a precaution in case weather conditions extend beyond Friday. Please help us remind your child to handle these items with care so they’re ready to use when needed.
If your child is in need of a warm jacket for the winter weather, please contact your school social worker for assistance. We are here to help and ensure all students are prepared for the colder temperatures.
Additionally, if your family is experiencing food insecurity or would like assistance, we invite you to visit our website for a list of food resources available to families.
Thank you for your understanding and partnership as we navigate the winter weather together. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to your child’s school.
Stay safe, stay warm, and we look forward to seeing everyone back soon!
With snow and a wintry mix in the forecast, we are closely monitoring the weather and considering all factors to ensure the safety of our students, staff, and families. We will meet with our weather team early tomorrow morning to review the latest conditions and determine the best course of action. Once a decision is made, we will communicate it to you promptly, so you have time to prepare accordingly.
In preparation for the weather event, we encourage all students to bring their laptops and chargers home with them on Thursday. We ask for your help in reminding your child to do so, ensuring they handle these items with care and have them ready to use if needed.

Today, we celebrated a monumental milestone – Westwood School's 50th anniversary!
The school truly went above and beyond, celebrating alongside not only current students and staff, but also former teachers, community leaders, past administrators, and alumni.
Westwood’s current students took pride in decorating the halls, adding a special touch to this momentous day. It was a heartwarming celebration of five decades of learning, growth, and community! 🐾❤️
We are celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with our annual DLI parade! We encourage all our students to dress up in heritage clothing or something that represents their culture.
We are looking forward to celebrate five decades of learning, growth and community.
Working Together, The Westwood Way! ♥️🐾🎉
