Additional Resources
How many elementary schools are in Westwood and how are students assigned?
There are five elementary schools serving children in kindergarten through grade 5. Students are assigned to elementary schools based upon home address.
The School Committee has designated University Station as a “buffer zone” district for elementary students. Families that newly enroll will be assigned to one of our elementary schools based on an assessment of which school is best able to accommodate additional students at a given grade. The district commits to keeping siblings in the same school moving forward.
What are the immunization requirements for school attendance?
Information on Massachusetts immunization requirements are available from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
Will my child ride the bus to school?
Eligibility for bus transportation is based on whether you live in a "riding zone" or a "walking zone." These zones have been established and adopted by the School Committee. To determine what zone you live in, consult the Town Of Westwood's Graphic Information System map.
