This week in Advisory we spent Academic Tuesday time wisely in order to prepare for 8th grade's Assessment Day on Wednesday. We have also been reflecting on how the start of the 8th grade has gone so far. I am excited to sit down with you soon to discuss your child's learning this year!
Thank you again, families, for your amazing donations that created 3 awesome Fall Baskets!

As Westlake Charter School continues to grow and evolve, your voice is essential in shaping our path forward! We are so grateful to the families who filled out our Strategic Plan Family Survey prior to October Break.
Our next step in this process is to hold Family Focus Groups for those who are interested in exploring key topics raised in the survey, such as Positive Student Behavior, Academic Readiness, Positive Student Relationships, Social-Emotional Readiness, and more.
We’re excited to invite you to our upcoming Strategic Plan Family Focus Groups on Wednesday, November 5th, from 6:00 – 7:30 PM at our K-8 Campus. Your voice is vital to shaping the future of Westlake Charter School, and we’d be delighted to have you join us.
To help us plan meaningful conversations, please CLICK HERE to RSVP by Sunday, November 2nd. Your RSVP will also help us provide enough snacks for everyone.
To support participation, BASE will remain open free of charge for currently enrolled Westlake Charter School students whose families attend the event. Please let us know in your RSVP if you plan to utilize BASE.
Thank you for your continued partnership and helping to demonstrate what’s possible when school and community collaborate!
