MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL: Winter Break/Outside Food/Visitors

Winter Break

This year winter break starts on December 23 and ends on January 3, 2020. Classes will resume on Monday, January 6, 2020. See the complete 2019-20 school year calendar.  School offices will be closed during the entire break. Please refer to our website https://westfieldhs.fcps.edu/ for staff or activities contact information.

During this time, if you have an emergency that requires notification of school administration, please contact the FCPS School Security Call Center at 571-423-2000.

There will be no assignments or assessments on Monday, January 6 or Tuesday, January 7 – the first two school days following the Winter Break.

We wish our students, families and staff a safe and restful break!


Outside Food

FCPS Regulation 5003.4: Food Sales and Services: No food or beverages shall be offered for sale to students from midnight before to 30 minutes after the end of the instructional day on the school premises by a provider other than the individual school food service department.

No school or organization shall contract for, or offer on its own at other times, any sale or service of food or beverage to students in competition with an established school food services program.

Students should not be ordering food from food delivery services during school hours.  This is a safety concern that also disrupts the educational process within our building.  Outside food is in direct competition with FCPS food services. Furthermore, these delivery drivers are often directed to use entrances that are not authorized for use during the school day. Please help us to support a safe and secure building by not allowing students food deliveries during the day. 

There has been a steady increase in the number fast food deliveries dropped off by families during the school day.   We would like to encourage students to utilize the healthy food choices available in our school cafeteria rather than receive fast food.   


Visitor Procedures/Former Students

While we welcome Westfield Alumni back to visit, we would like to remind visitors that instruction is continuing all this week. Visitation with teachers should be made by appointment only or with the approval of an administrator, unless the visit is scheduled and has an instructional purpose, please visit staff after 2:55 p.m.  

All visitors must enter the building through Door 1 and check-in at the main office.
