THE WESTLAKE EAGLE EYE E-NEWSLETTER
Volume 18  Issue 19                                             January 4, 2013
PRINCIPAL'S NOTE

 

Dear Parents,

 

As we prepare to return to school after our long break, I want to wish each of you a happy New Year. I also want to let you know that I continue to pray that Westlake will to be a blessing to your children and your family.

 

To that end, we will be holding a parent forum on Thursday, January 17 at 8:45 a.m. in the Cafeteria. This gathering is designed primarily as a listening session for me and Mrs. Roggenbaum. It is an opportunity for us to check in with our parent community and address any issues that may be occurring now, as well as receiving your input on Westlake's short and long-term objectives.

 

Another invitation will be coming, but please mark your calendars and join us on the 17th.

 

Blessings,

 

Rick Pucci

Principal
