A note from the Superintendent
As we surpass the 100-day mark of the 2020-2021 school year, I continue to reflect on and am amazed by what the Westwood Regional School District has accomplished over the last year. Not only have we successfully embarked on a new era in public education through the implementation of our hybrid model of instruction, in August, the Board of Education also developed and formally adopted four (4) district goals that identify our key priorities for the school year in the areas of 1) Mental Health, 2) Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion 3) Quality education across learning environments, and 4) Facilities Planning.
Due to the hard work and commitment of our school staff, families, and students, we have persevered. Please take time to check out our social media postings and district goals update, so you can see how Westwood Regional School District continues to shine brightly in the face of adversity.
Thank you for your interest and continued support of our school district.
