Our PYP team has put together a list of resources for our PYP students (grades K-5) to engage in learning opportunities over the Summer.
 
For those students in MYP and DP (grades 6-12), please take a moment to review our required Summer Reading List.
For students in grades K-5, our parent affiliate the House of Commons (HOC) offers special packs through EPI. See all the details on their website. If you prefer to do the shopping yourself, a complete listing per grade in PYP is listed here.
 
Students in grades 6-12 will receive their lists in August.

Do you have a student entering Grade 7?

Grade 7 students require two additional immunizations – Tdap booster and Menincoccal. There are two ways that we can access this information: if your Doctor utilizes the Immtrac2 system (the official Texas Immunization Registry) we can access your student’s records once they are loaded by your Physician. Another option is to bring a printed copy of your student’s records to the school during registration. Proof of immunization is required prior to the first day of school.

 

Will your student need to take medication while at school?

If your student will need to take medication at school, you may bring it to the Nurse's Office along with the 2019-2020 Medication Administration Request.

Each year, we have two fundraising initiatives run by our students for the benefit of our students:
Student Council Pizza Days
Ice Cream/Free Dress Days
 
More information will be coming soon about these initiatives.

Do you think you may want to volunteer at Westlake Academy? Go on a field trip? If you think you might, please click here to complete the mandatory background check. This is a requirement of all volunteers and must be completed once per year. Doing it now will ensure that you will have the clearance you need right when you need it!

 

Every Friday afternoon, you will receive the communiqué. It is a great source of information for what is happening on campus. It will also provide up to the minute information on upcoming events and important dates. All the issues are archived here for your reference.
