PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

Welcome Westwood Family!

I hope you  enjoyed a wonderful summer.  I also hope you are relaxed, recharged and ready to start a new school year.  I am so delighted that you are part of our amazing learning community.  I welcome and value your positive energy and dedication to excellence in education, and I look forward to working with you and our students.

All signs point to a positive and productive school year. Our skilled and devoted staff is already planning and preparing for our students.  Our enthusiastic office team is registering new families, ordering needed materials and updating student files.  Our hard-working and conscientious custodians have spent the entire summer thoroughly cleaning the facility. And, our much-appreciated parent liaison is gearing up to welcome families, provide volunteer opportunities, and offer other exciting events and programs.

The faculty and staff at Westwood Middle School are eager and excited to begin what promises to be the best year ever.  This year is going to be amazing as we continue to provide academic experiences for our students that are rigorous, relevant, and help them build relationships while making real-world connections.  As your Principal, it is important to me that everyone who steps through our doors, teachers, students, and parents are excited to be here!  This attitude enables us to meet the challenges of academic excellence in a positive, fun, and nurturing environment.  My door is always open and I welcome your input.  Please feel free to call or email me to discuss any concerns you might have throughout the school year.  

I look forward to working with you as a team to provide high quality education in a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment that builds a foundation for life-long learning.

Best Regards,

Muriel Waldron
