TOGETHER WE GROW

Dear Westview School Community,

The 2021-2022 school year held tremendous excitement and significant change. With so much time spent indoors and behind masks, we looked forward to letting go of the restrictions of the past and moving ahead with positivity and enthusiasm.

We were eager to welcome families back on campus and show off our numerous accomplishments. The spring semester was filled with events that showcased our students and their achievements. The annual Fundraising Luncheon, Talent Show, Spelling Bee, Commencement, and Celebration of Learning were a few of these opportunities. Attendees were delighted to hear about and see the exceptional student work on display.

There are also plans underway for continued growth and improvements as we work through the priorities identified in our strategic plan. As these plans develop, it will be my pleasure to share them with you through our various communications and publications.

Even with the rapid development, one thing that has not changed is our commitment and belief in our mission and vision to provide a unique, specialized learning environment offering outstanding educational and social opportunities for children on the autism spectrum. Academic opportunities and social and emotional learning remain top priorities in our classrooms.

Our collaborative environment and family culture continue to be a strength of our community, and we are always looking for ways to better serve our students and their families. One example of our outreach is our WestviewEDU series which features experts in the field of autism and provides a wealth of information on a variety of topics. I encourage you to check out the offerings for next school year and plan to attend a session or two of interest.

The past year was one of evolution, and we have much to look forward to as we continue to build pathways for our students to lead extraordinary lives. We know this does not happen without the support of our Westview community. It is all of us working together that keeps us moving forward. In this spirit, we announce our theme for the 2022- 2023 school year, Together We Grow. Whether you are a current, former, or prospective family of Westview, we sincerely hope that we can grow together.

Looking forward,
