Announcements:

For the Whole School

Welcome Back Packets – Each family was sent a welcome back packet in the mail. Please complete ALL the forms within the envelope and return them at our Meet the Teacher events.

Class List – Class lists for the 2016-2017 school year will be posted on August 9th for our Meet the Teacher events. Come on out, find out your classroom assignment and Meet the Teacher!

Supplies, Field Lessons, Spirit Shirt – At Westlake Charter School we pre-purchase all classroom supplies, pre-pay for all field trips and pre-order at least one piece of spirit gear for each student. We feel like this ensures everyone starts the year equitably and has everything they need to start learning on day one. If you are able to help by making any donation toward these costs, we ask that you do so at this link: Click Here to make Donations.

Start and End Times: As school is launching this week, we thought we would remind everyone of the importance of being on time to school and provide the following link to our bell schedule:

For Pebblewood

Meet the Teacher at Pebblewood Campus: This event will be held on Tuesday, 8/9 from 1:30-2:30pm. We are so excited to have families on campus to meet all of your student’s teachers.  If your student didn’t pick up their schedule yet, they can see their Advisory teacher to pick it up.  

TDAP:  ALL 7th-grade students need to turn in proof of the TDAP vaccinations before the first day of school.  Please drop it off at Meet the Teacher, email it to [email protected], or drop it by the front office.  

First day of School: All Middle School students, 6-8th grade, should report to the blacktop at 7:30am to get their schedule from their Advisory teacher. The lists of advisory teachers and their students will be posted on the office wall facing the parking lot under the Westlake Charter sign. The students should then find their advisory teacher (who will be located on the blacktop) to retrieve their schedule. Their schedule will be on goldenrod paper and will be their “Golden Ticket” into 1st period.  All middle school students will need their goldenrod schedule to attend class. Students without goldenrod schedules will not be allowed to join their teammates in class.
