July 31, 2025

The first day of school is just one week away, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome our new and returning Westfield families! Teachers will return to campus tomorrow for pre-planning, and we have several events leading up to the first day to get your student excited and prepared for the new year!

SPIRIT SHOP

The Spirit Shop will be open Monday, August 4th from 3:30 - 5:30 during the Lower School Meet and Greet.

Online Orders Can be picked up at the front office Monday, August 4th from 1- 3 PM and Tuesday, August 5th from 9 AM - 2 PM.

BACK TO SCHOOL

PLAYGROUND UPDATE

We’re excited to share that the new playground equipment and safety surfacing have been installed, and the finished result looks fantastic. We’re confident our students will enjoy the space.

While this marks a major milestone in the project, drainage, grading, and landscaping work still need to be completed before the playground is fully finished. As with any project of this scope, timing depends on several factors, but we’re moving forward as efficiently as possible.

In the meantime, we anticipate that students will be able to enjoy the equipment when it’s not undergoing active work.

Thank you for your continued support and patience as we work to provide an even better play space for our students.

MAGNUS HEALTH

As we prepare for the new school year, please take a few minutes to update your child’s health information through Magnus Health, our secure online system for managing student medical records.

Magnus Health is where you’ll submit important information like:

• Emergency contacts

• Allergy and medication details
• Required medical forms

You can access Magnus from any device, get reminders about missing forms, and receive updates about any health visits during the school day.

New families will get a welcome email from Magnus Health soon with login instructions. Please keep an eye out for it!
