Westlake uses 1:1 technology in grades 7-12. This means every student in those grades uses his/her own Chromebook. Parents should purchase a Chromebook prior to the first day of school.

This year, we will not be requiring a specific Chromebook model.  As you are shopping for a Chromebook, be sure to consider battery life and durability when selecting a model.  We highly recommend purchasing a protective case or sleeve to limit wear and tear on your device. 

When your Chromebook arrives, do NOT log on. WCA will do the initial log on at the beginning of the school year to make sure it is connected to the student’s official Westlake account for proper management. Just have the device charged and bring to school on the first day of classes.

We are excited to hold in-person graduations this spring. Anyone who wants to celebrate with our students is welcome to attend. Any person who is exhibiting Covid-19 symptoms should stay home, unless they obtain a negative Covid-19 test (at-home tests are acceptable) and symptoms are improving.

We will not have a livestream available this year. However, we do plan to make a video recording available afterwards. Any copyrighted portions of the ceremonies will have the audio muted in the video. Visit the WCAEagles YouTube channel to see videos.
