Our Time to Shine

Dear Westview School Community,

Each issue of the Wildcat Chronicles provides a wonderful opportunity to reflect on both Westview today and our proud history and accomplishments of our students and staff.

In the last few weeks, we have been fortunate to welcome some of our former students back to campus as volunteers for summer camp Each one has done exceptional work on our behalf Hosting our alumni volunteers allowed them to give back to the school and the staff, who gave them a solid foundation, a strong sense of self, and an appreciation for others. The willingness of our former students to give their time and talents to our special school is symbolic of what we want to achieve here at Westview, and that is to build a sense of community that is everlasting.

In this edition of the Wildcat Chronicle, we celebrate our employees of the year, highlight the gracious speakers who shared their stories at the spring luncheon, and pay tribute to the enduring contributions of The Westview School’s very first PE teacher whose dedication to our school and its mission is a model for us all. We also take great pride in featuring several alum who have experienced success in the world beyond our doors.

Just as we support each student as they come through the doors, guiding and nurturing each one to make the most of their unique gifts, in the end, we know that our school is a reflection of the enduring relationships that are nurtured and the connections that are made as we support each other.

This year, The Westview School will be going through reaccreditation. As part of this process, we will review the standards and descriptions of good practice and reflect on how well we meet each standard The entire school community will be involved in this self-examination process to highlight what we are doing well and identify opportunities for growth. In the spring, a team of visiting educators will be on campus to examine every aspect of our program. In this spirit, we announce our theme for the 2023-2024 school year is Our Time to Shine

We look forward to having an opportunity to shine a spotlight on the extraordinary things we achieve when we work together and commit to one another’s success.

Happy Reading!
