Westlake Middle School Eighth Grader Eddie Cooley was a popular scholar, well-known on our campus, and a friend to all. He was a smart young man, a leader on our campus, and had the sweetest smile. He will be missed by all and will remain in our hearts forever.

Good Evening Westlake Warrior Eagle Families

This is your Principal Ms. Taylor with your Weekly Update for the week of December 10-14, 2018.  There is only 2 weeks left of the first semester and the beginning of our Winter Break. Please be sure scholars are completing their assignments and projects. The following  information will also be available on our website for your review.

News on Campus:

• As I am sure many of you have already heard, we lost a scholar community member last week to an auto accident.  Our scholars and staff are truly exhibiting our motto of “Take Care of Yourself, Take Care of One Another and Take Care of Westlake.”  Counselors were available last week and will continue to be available this week to support our community. A GoFundMe page has been set up to support this scholar’s family.  If you would like to contribute please go to the Westlake website for more information and access to the link.
• Scholars will be taking their Math Interim Assessments on this Wednesday and Thursday, December 12 & 13. This will assist our scholars in being prepared for the SBAC State Assessment in the Spring.  Please be sure that your scholars are well rested and ready for the test.
• The SSC (School Site Council) will be meeting this Thursday, December 13 from 5:30 PM- 6:30 PM in the library.  All are welcome to attend.
• The Westlake Arts Department presents their Winter FAN (Fine Arts Night) on Thursday, December 20 at 6:30 PM in the cafetorium.  Come out and enjoy amazing dancing, singing, artwork, music, acting and much more! The entire Westlake Community is invited.
• The end of the 1st semester is December 21.  Please be sure that your scholar is completing their assignments on time and turning them in.  This is also the last day before the Winter Break and scholars will be dismissed at 1:10 PM that day.  Please plan accordingly.
• Parents, just a reminder that when you come to visit your scholar’s classes please be sure to notify the teacher at least 24 hours in advance, once you arrive on campus come to the office and get a visitor’s pass and once in class do your best to support the class by not being a distraction or disruption.  We welcome your presence on campus and thank you for supporting Westlake.
