PARENTS & GUARDIANS – The @youth_truth survey is live through January 31. We want to hear from you! #CommunityVoice
Westwood Regional Schools wants to hear from you! We’re partnering with YouthTruth to hear what families have to say about their school experience. Help your school understand how to improve! Take the family survey.
Ms. Kemple's Biology class is studying photosynthesis and this lab involves photosynthetic pigments. The students are using paper chromatography to separate the photosynthetic pigments in spinach leaves. They were able to see xanthophyll, chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b.
Students in Mr. O'Connor's and Mr. Krebs' Physics classes are learning about Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion. In cooperative lab groups, students investigated the movements of planets in the Solar System.
Ms. Gilbert's Chemistry class learning to count by weighing various household objects. They started with pennies, went on to pop beads, and finally counted rice or noodles. (No, they did not count the ~7000 grains of rice. They calculated the number based on the mass.)
Westwood Regional Schools will be participating in the 4th Annual Bergen County Public Schools Job Fair on Saturday, March 28. Are you an educator interested in working in a Bergen County Public school? Reserve your spot online to attend at bit.ly/BCASAjobfair
Ski Trip! Great time had by all!
Ms. Kemple's Biology class is studying anaerobic respiration as part of our cellular respiration unit. In particular, the students are using lactic acid fermentation to produce yogurt.

Great job by our cheerleaders tonight! Love the energy!
Mr. Chen's Honors Physics class were shocked to learn about how charges distribute in conductors. One cannot see the tiny tiny charges but they can feel the charges moving when they interact with the Van de Graaf machine!
Love the energy and enthusiasm from our Pre-K students during their physical education activity! Love having them in our building! Thank you Mr. Glover for making it fun for all students!
Art teachers working collaboratively to develop and refine various bookmaking techniques!
Counselors are focusing on alternative post secondary options! They visited Lincoln Tech to learn more about the programs (automotive, HVAC, electrical & more) they offer for students and the Parisian Beauty Academy. Please see your counselor with any questions!
Our English Department spent time researching and discussing diverse texts to more accurately reflect the student population.
Getting to know our equipment! This “Computer Numerically Controlled” router has the capability of creating accurate components for Applied Technology projects! Quite impressive!
