Family Engagement


Family Engagement is guided to service all. This means that our West Families join us in the implementation of requested workshops, meetings, resources, and open door policies. We pride ourselves in providing our families with information in their preferred language and accommodations as requested. Please let us know if you would like to be part of any Family meetings, Committees and/or Volunteer opportunities.

Family Engagement está orientado a servir a todos. Esto significa que nuestras Familias de West se unen a nosotros en la implementación de talleres, reuniones, recursos y políticas de puertas abiertas solicitadas. Nos enorgullecemos de brindarles a nuestras familias información en su idioma preferido y adaptaciones según lo soliciten. Háganos saber si le gustaría ser parte de alguna reunión familiar, comité u oportunidad de voluntariado.

At West, we want our families to know they are valued, supported, and heard. Our family engagement approach is rooted in connecting with families based on what they want and need.

This includes providing opportunities for learning, volunteering, sharing their voice and feedback, and inviting parents/guardians to participate in school advisory committees. Most of all, we seek to ensure our family engagement represents the diversity of our multicultural and multilingual student body.
