Welcome Message

 

Welcome Wolverine Families, 

As we enter August, I wanted to welcome each of you and share some important information regarding the beginning of the 2024-2025 school year. 

Important dates:

  • August 5th – Main office opens daily 7:30 – 3:30

  • August 16th, 19th, 20th, 23rd, 26th – New student registration – Call 509-559-4150 for times

  • August 26th – Open House 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm

  • August 27th – 1st day of school, 1st day of Football (7th and 8th grade), Softball (7th and 8th grade), 6th - 8th grade Cross Country) 

Bussing: If you have a student who is new to Westwood (including incoming 6th graders) you must have completed a bus registration form to be assigned a bus. This was one of the forms in the 6th grade packet last spring. If you have not completed the bus registration, or you have moved during the summer, use this link to complete the form as soon as possible. 

Supplies: At Westwood, all students are required to bring a 2 inch 3-Ring Binder to EVERY class. This binder will ensure that students have necessary materials for each class and will help students stay organized throughout the year. In addition, students will have a separate, smaller binder for math. Teachers will work with students during the first few weeks of school to get binders and school supplies organized and communicate with students and parents about missing materials. Click here to see a full list of school supplies. If you need support getting your child the supplies they need please contact one of the school counselors. 

Student Clothing: School is designed to prepare students for future employment, so similar to most jobs it is expected that students dress appropriately during the school day. As you are doing your back-to-school shopping please keep the following in mind.

  • Clothing should cover all undergarments, buttocks, chest and stomach.

  • Clothing may not advertise alcohol, tobacco, weapons, drugs or contain inappropriate language. 

  • Appropriate shoes must be worn at all times, and athletic shoes are needed for PE.

Athletics/Activity participation: In order to participate in sports or other activities throughout the school year, students must have the following items completed.  

  • An activity packet through FinalForms.  These required online forms are emergency information update, concussion and sudden cardiac arrest information, student activity code, insurance waiver and assumption of risk and release form.   A school accident insurance plan can be purchased through an affordable private company. Pamphlets for this can be picked up in the main office. These forms will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. Final Forms Registration Instructions for New Student-Athletes

  • Paid $30 ASB Fee. Use the link to pay online or see Mrs. Horton in the main office. (Complete the free and reduced lunch form to be considered for a waiver. This form will be sent home on the first day of school)

Athletics Only

  • Documentation of a current sport physical (valid for 24 months). If your child is due for a sports physical please schedule an appointment with your doctor.  

Go Wolverines,
