I hope that you have all been enjoying your weekend as we gear up for a busy time here. We are preparing for spring events such as an outdoor theater performance, spring athletics, and senior events. At the same time, we are entering our testing schedule which includes SOL and AP exams. There is certainly a lot going on here at Westfield! Below you will find some important information to check out. As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any questions, concerns, feedback or celebrations.

Westfield HS Library Curbside Book Delivery
The Westfield High School Library will have our book drop off and return at an Elementary School in your neighborhood this coming Monday. Look for the yellow FCPS bus in the parking lot of the school. Before pick-up and drop-off on Monday afternoon you will need to:
- Go into the Westfield Library catalog https://search.follettsoftware.com/metasearch/ui/103902
- Search the Westfield catalog and if you see a book that you would like to read put a hold on it. (Directions are on the library page in Schoology)
- We will also have some books on the bus for you to browse through for check-out.
- The books will be delivered to an elementary school closest to your house on Monday afternoon. (See schedule below) If you have placed a book or books on hold, please email me and let me know what elementary school you will be coming to get the books.
No need to get a ride anywhere-- get some exercise and walk to the elementary school to pick up or return the books. If you have textbooks or any other Westfield book that need to be returned, bring them to the bus..
If for whatever reason you are unable to get to the bus, please email me. (jtlesser@fcps.edu)
Remember to wear a mask. We all want to stay healthy.
