Welcome to SY 2026-2027,

This page is meant to serve as a parent resource for behavior supports and a tool to engage in meaningful conversations. The power of behavior change is all around us and parents, guardians, and caregivers are the first teachers of behavior.

"When little people are overwhelmed by big emotions, it's our job to share our calm, not join their chaos."

-L.R. Knost

Let us join hands and find new collaborative opportunities to help understand big emotions.

I am excited to join the Westlake Charter School Family and Community. My name is Dr. Young and I will be WCS/WCHS new BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst). This is my 13 year in education. From my early years as an educator, I learned that meaningful strength that comes from parent and teacher relationships. I recently moved to California from Washington, DC. I have had the amazing opportunity to live in 5 states and DC. Through my travel across the US, I have seen the amazing power that comes from collaboration. It is my hope to bring a servant's heart to Westlake Charter School and make this community home.
