Good Evening Westlake Warrior Eagle Families,

This is your Principal Ms. Taylor with the Weekly Update for Friday, February 21, 2020. Today marks the end of the 1st marking period of the 2nd Semester.  Grades are being compiled and finalized and will be mailed home within the next week. There are only 2 marking periods left in this school year. The following information will also be available on our website for your review.

• Black History Month Program:  Thank you to all the scholars and families that attended the Westlake Black History Month Program this past Wednesday evening. It was a wonderful program.  A special shout-out to our Arts Department Teachers Mr. Ting, Mr. San-chez and Ms. Rubin-Davis for a job well done. Can’t wait to see what they present to us during the Spring Fine Arts Night in May.
• Sports: Come out this weekend to support our sports teams. The 8th Grade Basketball team will take on Bret Harte @ 9 am and the 6th/7th Grade Team will take on Claremont also @ 10am @ Oakland Technical High School. Soccer will take on La Escuelita @ 11am at Castlemont High School. Good luck Warrior Eagles! 
• Interim Assessments: Over the next two weeks our scholars will be taking the Interim Assessments in English and Math in preparation for State Testing which is coming up in April.  Next Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb. 25 & 26 scholars will take the English IABs and the following week, March 3-6 scholars will take the Math IABs. Please be sure that your scholar gets good rest and is on time for school everyday.
• Parent Survey: Please go onto our website and complete the California Healthy Kids Parent Survey.  This survey assists us in evaluating how we are doing as a school community and changes that we need to make in an effort to continue making Westlake a school of excellence.
• Cell Phones: Parents, please assist us in reinforcing our cell phone policy to your scholar.  The expectation is that cell phones are off and put away from the start of school at 8:45 AM until the end of the school day.  We want our scholars to be fully engaged in the academic experience here at Westlake so your assistance with this request is greatly appreciated.
• Tardies: Over the past several weeks we have been experiencing a lot of scholars being tardy to first period, after their parents have dropped them off on time for school. Parents please encourage your scholar to be on time to every class as this is one of our values and norms as a scholar here at Westlake.  We have been and will continue to issue lunch reflection for those scholars that are not on time to class. We only want the best for all who attend Westlake and being on time to class will contribute to their academic success.

Important Upcoming Dates:

• Friday, February 21- End of the Marking Period
• Thursday, February 27- Food Pantry, 3:30 PM - 6:00 PM
• Friday, March 27- Cesar Chavez Holiday, No School
• Monday, March 30- Friday, April 3- Spring Break

Those are the updates for February 21, 2020.  Stay fly and SOAR and please remember to take care of yourself, take care of one another and take care of Westlake.
