WESTVIEW’S BUZZ
A Note from your Principal
Dear Parents:
It’s great to be at Westview. We’ve gotten the 2013- 2014 school
year off to a great start. I’ve been very impressed by the professionalism and work ethic of
the staff, the enthusiasm of the students and the support of families. The trimester has
moved into high gear very quickly.
This newsletter gives us an opportunity to let you know what is happening at Westview
Elementary. We want to keep open the lines of communication between home and school
and this is one important way to do that. You can expect to receive a newsletter every
month.
Together we can make this a rewarding school year for all students. We hope that each of
you will consider how you can remain active in your child’s education. We welcome parent
involvement and hope you will consider the multiple ways you can assist us. I encourage
you to be open to helping with field trips, library circulation or extra-curricular activities,
for example. Please see our office staff to complete a police background check if you are in-
terested.
I look forward to working with each of you. When we work to-
gether, we can make a positive difference in our community and in the
lives of children.
