Thank you to Mrs. Nordan, Mrs. Bush, and all of those who shared photographs of loved ones serving in the military now or in the past. Thank you to our Westridge chorus, and to the military parents who spoke today to tell us about what Veteran's Day means to them. Thank you to the sons and daughters who introduced their parents to the assembly as well as to those whose art work and cards are displayed throughout the hallways of Westridge.
This celebration was a heartwarming remembrance of the sacrifices made by our military and their families so that the world will be a better and safer place.

We are here to provide the best education and learning environment possible for our Westridge Knights. If ever you have a concern, the teacher involved should be the first person you speak to about it. It is best to schedule a conference as soon as a need arises. Talking face to face always seems to work best especially at the beginning of the school year as parents, teachers and students are getting to know one another. After a relationship is established, a phone call may be sufficient. Email may be a tool to set up a conference, but not to conduct any extended dialogue.
If after a teacher conference you wish further discussion, please contact Mrs. Bush for Grades K - 3 and Mrs. Hayden for Grades 4, 5 and Specialists. The more we work together, the greater the benefit to our students!
