Thank you Mrs. Massaro, School Counselor, and the kindergarteners for reading the book, 'After The Fall', which tells the story of perseverance and positive mindset when facing challenges. We can do hard things, as long as we are brave enough to try!
Thank you to Westwood Regional School Districts' maintenance, buildings & grounds, and custodial staff for everything they do especially during the recent weather conditions. You are the best! We appreciate you!
Due to the inclement weather and icy road conditions, there will be a delayed opening tomorrow, Wednesday, January 17, 2024. This decision has been made to allow ample time for our families and staff to safely commute and manage the impact of this specific weather event as well as allow our Buildings & Grounds Department ample time to ensure each building is safe for staff and students. All schools will open 90 minutes later than their normal start times: High School 9:25 a.m., Middle School 9:45 a.m., Grades K- 5 10:20 a.m., and Pre-School 10:20 a.m.
Fourth grades enjoy using fraction tiles to benchmark fractions.
