RISING 3rd Graders (Current 2nd Graders)

On Tuesday, May 21st, the 2nd-grade students will have the opportunity to visit Lindsey Elementary and tour the building. This is taking place in the morning and transportation will be provided. 

Parents of incoming 3rd graders (current 2nd Grade Parents) will also have an opportunity to visit Lindsey Elementary. There will be an informational parent night on May 21st at 6 PM at Lindsey, adults only, please. Similar to the presentation given to the 3rd graders, parents will learn about the grade level, and changes between Westwood and Lindsey, and will have an opportunity to ask questions. 

Hello, Westwood Families!

We completed our first week of the Gold Tray Game in the cafeteria - a new PBIS initiative.  The students are very excited about earning extra recess!  We were overwhelmed by the positive response; there were ties at each grade level! Each week we have a new goal and each class has a fresh chance to be the weekly winner!  Keep up the good work, Westwood!

Congratulations to the week one winners!

Kindergarten- Mrs. Redmond; Mrs. Schultz; Mrs. Wolfhope

Field Day

It's hard to believe another school year is coming to an end. But it wouldn't be complete without a final celebration on Field Day!

Mrs. Nicolosi and PTO are teaming up on Friday, May 24th to bring the kids a day of fun. Mrs. Nicolosi has organized a morning of games and activities. Following that, PTO will provide a cookout lunch with options of grilled hamburger, hot dog, or a PB&J Uncrustable, along with fruits and veggies. Please note that the cafeteria will be closed that day. Your child is welcome to pack a lunch from home if desired. Teachers will be sending out more info in the coming week and asking for your child's lunch choice.

Please join us for the fun by signing up to assist throughout the day. We also need donations of food brought to the office the day prior. Refer to the link below for more details and to sign up. Thanks in advance for your support!

The Celebrate with Me Book Program is a special way to recognize your child and help grow the West Geauga Elementary School Libraries

Each $10 donation will allow your child to:

• Select a new book for the library that includes a bookplate with your child's name.

• Be the first student to check out this new title from their school library.

• Receive a commemorative bookmark when the new book enters circulation.

• If desired, be recognized in the PTO Newsletter for making a lasting gift to the library.



This Book Program will be available to honor ANY CELEBRATION that you feel is important for your student. Celebration examples include birthdays, holidays, end of school year or awards. You can donate multiple times throughout the year & the library will greatly benefit from new titles being added! This program is designed to be a partnership of families & PTO to celebrate student achievements and grow the library.
