100th Day of School Activities

Classroom Activities Here are a bunch of snapshots of the exciting learning and events that happened here at Westpark in January.

Westpark After School Program

Wildcat have PRIDE! Check out our new Positive Behavior Expectation Matrix below! The Matrix is a list of behaviors we expect all of our Widcats to show each day here at Westpark. Our PRIDE Behavior Expectation Matrix gives specific examples of how we expect our students to behave in every area of our school. Students that are seen doing something that is an amazing example of these expectations will earn a Wildcat PRIDE Award (Similar to the golden ticket used the last few years). In previous years our teachers chose their Student of the Month Award winners based off of a monthly character trait. This year our teachers will be choosing a student each month that shows his or her PRIDE the most in all areas of our school. We will have PRIDE posters in all areas of the school to remind students of what is expected of them.

A Message from Mr. Holmes "THANK YOU"  to all our parents/guardians that place such a high regard on creating and molding our students into the tremendous students they are.  As our 100th day of school has come and gone, I would like to take the time to mention how impressed we at Westpark are that our students are meeting the high standards and expectations both in their academic performance and citizenship. These areas are the foundation of our school. It is the contribution of our students to our school and community that makes our school an exceptional learning community. By showing up everyday and putting out their best effort our students are exploring new avenues and creating new relationships. One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is building solid relationships with students, families, and staff. It is a priority for me to be accessible to classrooms and on the playground, so that I am able to get to know all of our students. As Assistant Principal, my door is always open. Please feel free to contact me to discuss any concerns, suggestions, or ideas to help make Westpark even more successful!
