Good Evening Explorer Families,

This is Mr. Eick, the Executive Director of our Westlake Charter School. Families, tonight our school is reaching out to you in an effort to air on the side of caution. We were informed this afternoon that two of our students, one in kindergarten, and one in third grade, may have been diagnosed with Whooping Cough. While neither diagnosis has been confirmed, our staff would prefer to be overly cautious and is making every effort to ensure the safety of our students, families and staff.

We are attaching a letter to this evening’s post that will also be printed and sent home in your student’s backpack tomorrow. We will continue to communicate with our families should there be a need to share any further information.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone at Back to School Night tonight on our Del Paso Campus. If you have any further questions about this situation, please feel free to communicate with our administrative team directly by emailing [email protected]. Should you have any need to speak with administration this evening, we will be available in the cafeteria at the end of each of our Back to School Night Session, 6:35 PM and 7:10 PM.

Thank you for your support of Westlake Charter School and please communicate with us directly should you have any questions or concerns.
