Honor the Veteran's in your Life!
This Veterans Day, you are invited to help salute military members of the community that have served or are currently serving by filling out a request for a color-coded star. Each star will be distributed teachers to be displayed outside classroom doors, serving as a reminder of the many veterans that make up our Westlake Academy family and community. This form can be filled out multiple times to honor multiple veterans. Submissions are due by Monday, November 7.

PYP Grandparents and Special Friend’s Day
Grandparents and special friend’s day will be held on Friday 18 November from 9:00-11:00am, in the kindergarten to grade 5 classrooms. Students will be dismissed that day, at the normal time of 3:25pm.
This is a very special day for our students and a memorable one for our grandparents and special friends. There will be a golf cart available that will be circling the parking lots if transport is needed to get to the welcome breakfast held in the multi-Purpose Hall building commencing at 7:45 am and at 9:00 am, grandparents and special friends will be escorted to the classrooms. During the morning there will be an opportunity for photos to be taken and the House of Commons will have their WA spirit wear shop available for purchases.
Teachers and students are looking forward to the morning and eager to share their learning in an IB World School. We invite grandparents and friends to share their experiences by bringing any photos, classwork or stories they had in their primary school years.
Please RSVP at the Link Below!
Because campus safety are our top priority, please make sure all grandparents bring a photo ID. If your grandparent does not have a photo ID, please contact the front office before November 16th to make arrangements.
