Westwood Elementary School is a shining example of a school serving a community with diverse needs and interests, bolstered by a strong tradition of volunteerism. Adults are visible throughout the campus, supporting student learning. Students, in turn, give back to the community by entertaining residents, raising funds for service organizations, collecting Valentines and writing letters to deployed troops, and other community service projects. Dynamic partnerships include the Rancho Bernardo Chamber of Commerce, Casa De Las Campanas, a retirement community, Longs Drugs, Wells Fargo Bank, and Time Warner Cable.
Westwood recently completed an extensive
modernization program as a result of Proposition U
funding. The facility now includes a new multi-purpose
room and student lunch area, an upgraded library facility,
technology center, 12 new permanent classrooms, and
complete renovation of all existing facilities. As a result
Westwood is a modern, state of the art school.
Westwood has been recognized as a California
Distinguished School and a National Blue Ribbon School
of Excellence. In 2001 a Chargers Champions Grant was
received for innovative character education and student
support programs. Students have access to up-to-date
technology due to the financial support of the Westwood
Elementary Foundation.
Staff, parents, and community members agree that the collaborative spirit on campus is Westwood’s greatest strength. By working together, an environment exists where learning is stimulating, child-centered, and focused on the unique qualities that all children bring to the classroom.
