Do you accept open enrollment students?

Can my child start school early?

By ruling of the School Board, children are eligible to enroll in kindergarten if they are five years old on or before September 1 for the upcoming school year. Parents of children with birthdays between September 2-November 1 may apply for early entrance to Kindergarten.

Families must apply for early entrance and students must demonstrate they are ready to start Kindergarten early. The first step is to download, read and submit the Early Entrance to Kindergarten Guide and Application. Email the completed application to kfehri@district16.org.

Does every student receive a computer or iPad?

Why are students in grades 5-8 in the same building?

Westwood Intermediate and Middle School is one building for grades 5-8 that runs two independent programs and school days. One side of the building is dedicated to grades 5-6 programming. The other side is dedicated to grades 7-8 programming. School start and end times different and transportation runs independently. We essentially run two separate schools out of one building. The benefit for students and families is fewer school transitions in their overall K-12 journey.
