Welcome back Explorers! This first week of school was truly amazing! On each campus, our teachers and staff enjoyed reuniting with our returning students as well as welcoming new friends to our community. Thank you, families, for helping to create such a positive community at our school.

The entire campus felt the energy coming from Pebblewood’s Back To School Rally!  Thanks to Collin Poseley and his leadership students for putting together an awesome welcome back for the students.

The first few days of school were all about building classroom culture with Responsive Classroom!  Here is Ms. Ho’s class  in Morning Meeting, which happens each day in all of our classrooms!

 

Announcements:

For the Whole School

Back to School Night: Families, we hope that everyone is saving the date for our upcoming back to school nights on each campus. It is a central focus of the Westlake Charter mission to partner with families and the community. We would love to see every family in attendance at Back to School Night! We promise we will make it a night that you won’t want to miss!

For Del Paso:

Pick Up Placards:  If you have not already received a pickup placard from your child’s teacher please email them to get one.  Each car that comes to pick up students in grade K-4 must display a placard in their front window.  The placards help staff to ensure student safety during dismissal.

Wednesday Early Out:

  • Kindergarten – 12:45pm
  • 1st-4th – 1:15pm

1st-4th grade parents can enter the parking lot for pick up at 1:00, once Kindergarten dismissal has finished.  This allows all kindergarten parents to safely enter the parking lot to retrieve their student.  Any 1st-4th grade parent entering the parking lot prior to 1:00pm on Wednesdays will be asked to pull through the parking lot to join the back of the dismissal line.  Thank you for your help in keeping our dismissal safe for all students.

Visitor Parking:  Starting the week of August 29th we will begin to welcome volunteers into  our classrooms.  When parking as a volunteer or visitor, do not park in any space marked for staff.  All unmarked spaces are for visitor parking.  All visitor parking can be found on the east side of the parking lot near the exit gate.  Thank you for your help in keeping all assigned staff parking spots open.

Math Monday:  Click here to have some fun with math! 

For Pebblewood

Morning Drop Off: Students can be dropped off as early as 7:15 for breakfast.  Students must go to the cafeteria where supervision is provided until 7:30.  At 7:30 students may go to the blacktop until the school day begins at 7:45.  

Afternoon Pick Up: Please do not park in the school parking lot during pick up as pedestrian traffic through the parking lot causes dismissal delays. In addition, please use the sidewalks to pick up students; crossing through the parking lot is not safe.  If you have a 5th and 6-8th grade student, your older student should wait with the 5th graders to be picked up.  Thank you for your patience as we are getting back into our pick up routines.

Bell Schedule:  Here is the 6th-8th grades bell schedule for our Pebblewood campus.
