Winter Clothing and Outdoor Recess

With cold and snowy days ahead, I want to take a moment to remind you of some of the policies and procedures that help us safely navigate the winter months.

 

Please remember that students play outside, even in snowy weather, unless it is an unsafe temperature. For Westwood Public Schools, students will not play outside if the temperature is below 20 degree Fahrenheit. Students will also not have outside recess if the conditions are too icy or rainy. Please make sure your child is dressed for the winter temperatures, so he or she can play outside comfortably and safely.

 

If it is snowy, please make sure your child is equipped with snow pants and snow boots. Without this gear, students will need to play on the shoveled blacktop areas of the playground. On snowy days, please send your child to school with a pair of shoes in addition to snow boots. This will help students stay comfortable and keep our hallways and classrooms clean and dry throughout the day.

 

2nd Annual Dance Marathon (flyer)

The Westwood High School Senior Independent Project Program would like to invite you to Westwood's 2nd Annual Dance Marathon. Over the past month, Westwood High has been raising money for Boston Children's Hospital trying to reach a goal of $30,000. In celebration of our fundraising and Boston Children's we will be hosting an event on Sunday, December 11th, from 1 pm-4 pm in the WHS gymnasium.

 

It’s a day that’s filled with dancing, music, games, bouncy houses, obstacle courses, face painting and all kinds of amazing raffle prizes! Above all else, the Dance Marathon is for the Miracle Families of Boston Children’s Hospital, who will be there to share their stories and thank you for your support!
