Preschool/Pre-K “Meet the Teacher”

New this year! Preschool and Pre-K students will NOT attend Back-to-School Night. Instead, parents should sign up for a “Meet the Teacher” time slot on Monday, August 22nd or Tuesday, August 23rd. These will be 30 minute time slots for a small group of parents and students. ALL families are expected to sign up for a time slot, regardless of whether or not this is your first year at Westlake. Teachers will be providing important information that is specific to each classroom. We hope this new format will make the school year transition smoother for our youngest students. If at all possible, families should make childcare arrangements for younger siblings.
