Freshman Students & Parents (Class of 2024)
The virtual Freshman Orientation Bootcamp is August 10-14. In preparation for the bootcamp, please work with your student to complete the survey using the following link (https://forms.gle/D3etiAwxYyjfjLUj6) to assist with our planning.
The virtual Freshman and New Student Parent Night is September 2. This is an opportunity to meet me and pose questions about Westfield and the 2020-2021 school year.
Collection of Items from 2019-2020 School Year
With the exception of members of the class of 2020 and students not returning to Westfield, we did not collect textbooks and other school property in June. The following information outlines our collection plan of Student Textbook/School Property from the 2019-2020 School Year. Your student will receive an email in his/her fcpsschools.net account in the coming days. The email will detail his/her outstanding textbook/material obligations. Your student should use this email to gather his/her belongings to return to Westfield High School.
The following table has textbook/library book collection dates/times. The collection process will not require you or your student enter the building.
