Westwood School

Students in 3-5th grade enjoyed Friday's Jonas Program "Hey, What's that Sound?" provided through the Creative Arts Guild! Students learned how the elements of STEAM work together for creation. Dave played instruments, showed how sound works, and engaged students throughout the program.

Mrs. Harrison’s and Mrs. Ulman’s 2nd and 5th graders teamed up for the 2026 Winter Potato Olympics! The 5th graders designed the events, created recording sheets, and served as incredible hosts while guiding the 2nd graders through each competition. Students practiced measurement, comparing numbers, and data analysis throughout the games, and the potato athletes gave it their all! After hosting, the 5th graders even had the chance to compete with their own potato athletes. A fun day of learning, and collaboration! ♥️🐾

Our 3rd grade had a great time visiting the recycling center! ♻️🌎 Students learned how to go green and the importance of keeping our environment clean. ♥️🐾

Wildcats are ready and excited to participate in the DPS Elementary Chorus Festival! ❤️🎶🐾 Join us for the performance today at 6:00 PM at the City Park Auditorium.

SRO Johnson delivered a lesson on Actions and Consequences to 4th graders. He answered lots of great questions about his jobs prior to working in schools and the tools that officers use in their training. We are thankful for positive influences like Officer Johnson in our students’ lives to reinforce lessons beyond regular academics.

Our Wildcats will be making Kindness Kits for those in need during REACH class. Please help us spread kindness by donating items from the list below. Items are due by Feb. 20
