We have asked a lot of our staff and students, and I’m sure I speak for the staff when I say we appreciate the notes, phone calls, and emails of support. We look forward to our students' safe return to learning
on November 30.
Stay healthy; be safe; GO BULLDOGS!

Attendance Emails
This week, we received a high volume of phone calls regarding student absences. As a reminder, parents/guardians must contact their student’s sub school office to excuse an absence; email is not the acceptable process to use when notifying our school of your student’s absence. We are aware of the FCPS online portal; however, Westfield High School is not monitoring or accepting any absences submitted via email.
If your student has been marked absent for a specific class, please contact that teacher to determine if the absence was marked in error. The teacher will notify the appropriate sub school to make the correction.
A Monday reminder: All students must check in with their 3rd period teacher between 8:00 am-8:30 am.
Students cannot excuse their own absence by emailing the sub school office, teacher, or counselor; the parent/guardian must contact the sub school office by phone to report the absence.
We request parents continue to submit their excused student absences via our attendance line (703-488-6316) or use the sub school contact information below. Spanish attendance line: 703-488-6316.
Thank you for your continued understanding and support.
