Westwood families, ACSD has announced that due to the extreme threat of winter weather this weekend, we will have an eLearning day on Monday, Feb. 2. Packets were sent home with the students today and cover a 3 day span just like last week. At this time, your student is ONLY responsible for the day one material. If your student was absent, there will be plastic bins labeled by grade level on our bench in the bus rider loop. You may pick up your student's packet there.
Westwood families, due to the threat of more winter weather, we are once again preparing for the chance of potential eLearning days next week. We are preparing another 3 day packet that will be sent home with your child today, just in case. If you have a student who is absent today, you can pick up a packet between 1:00 and 2:00 today. If you miss that pick up window, we will have the packets available in tubs on the bench out front. They will be labeled by grade level for you to pick up at your leisure. Again, no call has been made yet, but we are preparing in advance.
Westwood families - this message is for parents or guardians of those students participating in the Miss Westwood Pageant. All pageant participants can stay after school today and are to be picked up by the following times: 3rd grade needs to be picked up by 3:30, 4th grade needs to be picked up by 4:00, and 5th grade needs to be picked up by 4:30. Pickup will be in front of the school near the glass hallway.
Westwood families, if you have a student absent today and need to pick up an eLearning packet for next week, please stop by the school to get a packet between 12:00 and 2:00 today. Right now, we only have eLearning for Monday, but the packet will include 3 days of eLearning just in case we are out longer. Remember that returning a completed packet is how your student will be marked present for the eLearning days.
At around 10:25 AM, Westwood Elementary School went into our Lock Out Protocol due to suspicious noises in the vicinity. Law enforcement was called, and the area was deemed safe to return to normal routines around 10:55 AM. Out of an abundance of caution, we have chosen to keep all activities indoors for the remainder of the day. At this time, everyone is safe.
Parents and guardians, please remember that tomorrow is a half day for students. Westwood will begin dismissing around 11:00. We hope that everyone has a safe and happy winter break.
Families, tomorrow is considered Big Thursday in support of the long standing Clemson and Carolina Rivalry. We strongly encourage students to participate by wearing their teams' colors tomorrow. Participating students could win a free pizza and be entered into a drawing for a $250 gift card.
MAP ELA testing will be Dec. 2, and MAP Math testing will be Dec. 3. Please get plenty of sleep and eat a healthy breakfast so you are prepared and ready to do your best!
Third grade parents and guardians are invited to attend our Veterans Day celebration Nov. 11 at 1pm. Students should wear their garnet Westwood t-shirts and jeans. We look forward to honoring our veterans with you!
Parents and community members, Westwood is partnering with School Store. Your child will come home with a lanyard on Tuesday 9/30/25. Scan the QR code and share with other friends and family members. Enter the prize code on your child's lanyard and send it back to school on Wednesday 10/1/25 for them to get a prize. Then all you have to do is shop online through School Store at one of the many supporters, and Westwood gets a small kickback. It's a WIN WIN! We look forward to your support.
This is an update for Buses 2 and 5. They will not be delayed getting home this afternoon as we had originally thought. These buses should be arriving home this afternoon on time. We apologize for any inconvenience.
