OUR TIME TO SHINE

Dear Westview School Community,

Each issue of the Wildcat Chronicles provides a wonderful opportunity to share the accomplishments of the students and staff of The Westview School. This is our reaccreditation year, and in the last few months, we have reviewed and reflected on how well we meet the Cognia Performance Standards in virtually every aspect of our school.

This rigorous process has allowed us to collect and analyze data from our students, families, and instructional staff; observe every classroom to reflect on how our students experience their learning environment; and examine data on student growth in social, emotional, behavioral, and academic domains.

This review has affirmed that The Westview School is living up to our belief that when children are educated in a nurturing and supportive environment, they learn, grow, and develop a strong sense of self and an appreciation for others. In this edition of the Wildcat Chronicle, we share some key takeaways from our process thus far, describe the benefits of departmentalizing our elementary program, and share some of the great things happening in The Stewart Center.

Our alumni connection is another popular feature of this publication and an opportunity for us to highlight how the solid foundation of a Westview education prepares our students for the world beyond our walls.

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

We look forward to building on The Westview School’s strengths and bringing new and innovative programs to our classrooms and community.

Happy Reading,

Bevan
