We have now completed the first three quarters of the 2023-2024 school year. Our students have been working diligently to grow their skills to prepare them for the next grade level. Third quarter report cards are now posted in Infinite Campus.
Please enjoy the time over Spring Break to relax and recharge with your families and friends. We are looking forward to a great 4th quarter full of fun and exciting learning experiences and activities.

National Child Identification Program
Officer Scott visited 2nd-grade classrooms today to inform our students about the National Child Identification Program. An envelope will be coming home with each 2nd-grade student with information from Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost.
Each kit includes a Fingerprint card, a Medication information section, and a DNA section. This program is designed to give families an easy way to keep all this important information in one place for easy access in a time of need. Please know that the program is optional.
Please review the information with your child and feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Attention 2nd Grade Families!

Hello, Westwood Families!
Happy Spring!
This time of the year is a wonderful opportunity to do a PBIS Reboot. The first week we return from spring break we will remind our students of our three Rs (Respectful, Responsible, Ready to Learn) throughout our daily routines. We will highlight a new classroom incentive during our grade-level assemblies on Friday, April 5th. We look forward to additional opportunities to recognize our students for meeting our behavior expectations! Stay tuned for more information.
Take care!

2024-25 PTO Elections
It's hard to believe, but preparations are already underway for the 2024-25 school year. With that comes elections for the PTO Executive Committee, which will occur at our members' meeting on May 9th.

We are looking to fill next year's board with interested and dedicated parents who are committed to the ongoing well-being of our students, staff, and families. If you are interested in a board position or know someone who is worthy of nomination, please complete this Google Form no later than April 11th.
