Wildcat Web

A special place just for you to stay in the know! Wildcat Web is our password- protected portal on the Westminster website (westminster.net) where we store and communicate information intended only for Westminster parents, students, faculty, and staff.

Parents, you received your login information upon your child’s acceptance. If you forget your password, please click “Can’t access your account?” on the Wildcat Web login page.

Online Directory

The online Westminster directory lives within Wildcat Web and includes contact information for all students and their families, faculty, staff, and administration. Access to the online directory will be provided in mid-July. Connect with IT Services at help@westminster.net with any questions you may have.

Please note: The online Westminster directory is for school use only and is not to be used for mail, email, or telephone solicitations.

Check out westminster.net to explore the school calendar, athletics teams, social media platforms, and news and events.

Parents, in mid-July you’ll receive extended access to the Parent Portal in Wildcat Web. Here, you’ll get the full picture and gain access to the online directory. This is what you’ll see starting the first week of school:

• What’s for lunch? • What does your family’s week look like? • Who is teaching your child’s class? • Class lists and more!

Fifth through twelfth graders will receive their own Wildcat Web login credentials at the start of school.

Back-To-School Communications

A couple of weeks before school begins, you’ll receive The Year Ahead, an e-newsletter that includes everything you need to know or do to prepare for the first week of school, including important event dates. You will also receive a special mailing from the Parent Association of The Westminster Schools (PAWS), which will include details of how to get involved in school life through our parent association, as well as the coveted Westminster car decals!

Weekly Parent Updates (WPU)

All parents receive the Weekly Parent Update email every Thursday during the school year, except during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and spring breaks. Read the update every week for important announcements, a calendar of upcoming events, service opportunities, links to lunch menus, and other timely information.

Classroom Communications

Lower School

Each week, teachers give you a peek at school life with photos, curriculum information, and classroom-specific announcements through SeeSaw. Details will be provided at orientation meetings.

Middle School

Grade chairs play a primary role in communication between home and school. They are in regular contact with homeroom advisors and teachers and guide parents through the multiple layers of support available at Westminster. Contact information for grade chairs is available in the “Middle School Dashboard” on Wildcat Web beginning in August. Students receive daily announcements with information about clubs, tryouts, service projects, and more!

Upper School

Students and parents are encouraged to reach out to classroom teachers with questions about specific classes. Advisors and grade chairs are also available to support parents and students with additional questions or concerns.

Students access assignments and other important academic information through Schoology, the Upper School learning management system. Students also get announcements about activities happening on campus on a weekly basis.

Westminster Magazine

Westminster Magazine includes feature stories, campus activities, sports roundups, and alumni news. You’ll receive one via mail in the fall and spring.

See recent issues online at westminster.net/magazine.

In the event of a weather-related closing, delayed opening, or other emergency, Westminster utilizes an automated rapid alert system to send voice, text, and email notifications to our community. All new parents will be automatically enrolled in the system before the start of the school year. Parents of Upper School students will have the option to add their child’s phone number by updating their Wildcat Web profile. Go to the Parent Portal and select “Update My Profile.”
