Westridge Elementary released a schedule of activities for the week of Oct. 12, 2026, including deadlines for the STEM Fair and various school events. The announcement highlights upcoming opportunities for student engagement and family participation through the end of the week.
STEM Fair forms are due Tuesday, Oct. 13, and students who return their forms will receive a free STEM Fair display board. Additionally, the Community Council is scheduled to meet on Tuesday, Oct. 13, at 7:00 a.m.
Wednesday, Oct. 14, includes a first grade field trip and a Hope Squad meeting scheduled from 3:20 to 4:00 p.m. Throughout the week, the school is celebrating National School Lunch Week with a "Cafeteria Circus" theme, where students are encouraged to wear bright colors, bold stripes, and polka dots.
District Parent University for families with children in kindergarten through third grade is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 15, from 5:00 to 7:30 p.m. at Shoreline Middle School.
Regarding school meals, full prices apply if a free or reduced-price meal application for the 2026–2027 school year has not been submitted. Breakfast costs $0.30 for reduced-price meals and $2.00 for full-price meals, while lunch is $0.40 for reduced-price meals and $2.75 for full-price meals. Additional meals cost $3.00 for breakfast and $5.00 for lunch.
The school noted that all absences must be excused to avoid district attendance intervention, which begins after the first five unexcused absences. Such intervention can include attendance letters, home visits from a Family Advocate or social worker, resolution conferences, mediation, or referrals to the Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS) or the County Attorney’s Office.
Looking ahead, a Professional Development Day is scheduled for Oct. 21, resulting in no school for students. Fall Break will occur from Oct. 22 through Oct. 26, and the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) Red Ribbon Week is planned for Oct. 27–30.
