Westwood Elementary

Hey Westwood parents- check out this video about some dismissal procedures! Also, if you haven't looked at our parent newsletter, it has information about how dismissal will go this year (walkers will come out the front doors), what time school starts and ends, and much more. If you were unable to attend our Pack Meet 'n Greet Thursday, please stop by the office Monday to get your car tag if you are picking your child up in the car line Monday afternoon. We can't wait to see our Wolves! https://secure.smore.com/n/pvfyuq https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d1nHqlBkwLEl6cKwUXU2LoN4EUwj3aFC/view?usp=sharing

Our 1st graders in Ms. Mitchell's class are busy little inventors! From building with blocks to experimenting with new ideas, they like tinkering, and creating. It’s amazing to see curiosity turn into creativity right before our eyes! #SpringdaleFamily

Our Wolves have been on the move this first week of school — learning and exploring in PE and in the Curiosity Corner doing a STEAM challenge! It’s been a busy and exciting start to the year, and we’re loving every moment. Check out these snapshots of our amazing first week and enjoy seeing our Wolves in action! #SpringdaleFamily

Here is the lunch menu for the month of August. Please make sure students go to bed early tonight. We can't wait to see our Wolves in the morning when school starts at 7:45 am!

Today was truly one of the best days filled with celebration, appreciation, and community spirit! We had the absolute joy of joining fellow educators at the Chamber of Commerce Back to School Event, and it was nothing short of amazing. From the warm welcomes to the thoughtful gifts and the energy in the room, it was a powerful reminder of how valued and supported we are as Springdale teachers. To the Chamber of Commerce and all the sponsors and volunteers: thank you for making us feel so special. Let’s make it a year to remember! #SpringdaleFamily

We’re thrilled to welcome some amazing new faces to our Westwood family! Our new teachers bring fresh energy, big hearts, and a shared passion for helping every student thrive. We’re so excited to have them in our building and can’t wait to see the incredible things they’ll do this year! Help us give Mrs. Hermon (Kindergarten), Mrs. Avitts (Kindergarten), Ms. Maroney (4th Grade), Ms. Barnes (5th Grade) and Mrs. Schroeder (5th Grade) a big shout-out as they start this exciting new journey! #SpringdaleFamily

Jumpstart just got a little furrier and a whole lot more fun! Hazel stopped by to visit our students, bringing tail wags, high-fives, and smiles all around. She loved meeting our newest Wolves and cheering them on as they explore and get ready for the school year. There’s nothing like a little puppy love to make learning even more exciting! #SpringdaleFamily

Our Jumpstart students are really getting into the groove! From learning routines to making new friends and exploring their classrooms, it’s been amazing to see their confidence grow each day. We’re so proud of how quickly they’re settling in and can’t wait to see all the learning and fun ahead! #SpringdaleFamily

Another awesome day of Kindergarten Jumpstart is in the books! Our littlest Wolves are growing more confident each day, and today was extra special. We welcomed our amazing community partners from Apple Seeds, who brought the fun (and the veggies!) as students learned more about healthy foods and got to take home some tasty veggies! We also celebrated a very important member of our pack—Ms. Aleman, our wonderful registrar! Thank you for always welcoming our families with a smile and helping everything run so smoothly. We’re lucky to have you! Every day just keeps getting better and better! #SpringdaleFamily

We had an amazing first day of Kindergarten Jump Start with our littlest Wolves! It was such a joy to welcome our newest pack members and watch our Alpha Team leaders step up to guide them as they explored their new school home. We can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings! It’s only going to get better from here! #SpringdaleFamily
