Changes for Next Year

I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that I have accepted a position in the district as the new literacy and technology coach for the elementary schools.  Mrs. Griffin, who has been teaching at Westwood for the past two years, will be taking my place.  While it is difficult to say good-bye to the classroom, I am looking forward to working with the Westwood staff, students, and families in new and different ways. I cannot thank you all enough for such a wonderful year.  Your students have bright futures ahead of them because of the strong foundation and support they get from you at home.  I look forward to hearing high compliments from their future teachers.  Have a wonderful summer!

Fun was had by all at our Wide World of Wonder. Our students learned so much while participating in a wide variety of fun activities. We could not have done it without all of the amazing volunteers who made the day possible. Thank you so much!

Thank you

Thank you so much for the beautiful bouquet of flowers and wonderful cards. It is always so special to see each child's unique flower shine in the beautiful bouquet, just like they do in our classroom. Thank you so much for all of the kind words this week. As always, it is a pleasure and an honor to be your child's teacher.
