Principal’s Report

We are only 7 points from top scoring Coronado. These tests are very important to the district, the school and its teachers. AP testing will begin in early May and this year we have over 1000 students taking over 2000 AP tests! Also, Kathy Bloomfield and the entire Counseling Team did an outstanding job rolling out the online Course Request Forms and they are nearly finished with the 10th grade counseling appointments. We are still awaiting budget information but should know more in the next couple of weeks.

President’s Report
Sue thanked everyone for coming and informed of an upcoming advocacy activity in which Westview and all PUSD schools will participate.

Principal’s Report
Dawn Kastner welcomed parents to Term 2 Back to School Night. She noted that parents will be able to see some of the results from the fundraising efforts of the Foundation as well as the ENS Department. Computers and technology have been purchased which bring us back to where we were last year. There is a beautiful new trophy case at the entry to the gymnasium. ENS funds will be used for improvements to the Fitness Lab since the rope course was not feasible. Also, Westview and PUSD know that many families in our district and community are experiencing hardship. Please let the school know if you are aware of students or families having financial difficulties as there are many avenues of assistance available such as reduced fee lunches and fee waivers for Advanced Placement tests.

President’s Report
President Sue Hasselmann welcomed everyone and thanked them for attending. She reminded parents that it is not too late to join the PTSA this year!
The budget news is still pretty grim and without resolution. Parents can stay updated via the Westview PTSA and PUSD websites.
Some recent good news is that two Westview student’s Reflections entries were sent to the California State PTA for judging (Hayden Boal in the Film category and Ashley Peterson in Literature).
The Westview PTSA just approved staff grants in the amount of $3200 to 12 staff members to benefit staff and students.
