Just a friendly reminder that Daylight Saving Time begins tomorrow ! Most people find it easiest to set their clocks ahead one hour on Saturday night before heading to bed—that way you’re all set for Sunday morning! 🛏️✨
While we all adjust to losing that hour of sleep, we’re definitely looking forward to those longer, sunnier afternoons for our Whirlwinds’ after-school sports, activities, and time outside! ☀️🌪️
We can’t wait to see all of our students arriving safely and on time Monday morning as we kick off another great week of learning at Westwood Middle School! 🎒✨
Thank you to Wawa for the pretzel donation for our Westwood staff. It was a great way to end the week and gave everyone a little boost as we head into the final stretch.
Only 5 more days until Spring Break — we’re ready to twist and shout our way there! 🌪️
We appreciate our community partners who help make days like this a little brighter.

This week we celebrate School Social Work Week and the incredible impact our school social workers make every day.
