It doesn’t seem possible but we are already at the end of the first semester of the school year! Report cards will be distributed via 3rd period classes during Bulldog Block on Monday, February 6th. Please ask your student to review it with you. Remember if your student is having problems with a subject, it is not too late to improve their performance for the remainder of the year. There is free tutoring available through the PTSA BITS tutoring program. Go to http://www.fcps.edu/WestfieldHS/student_services/bits.htm for more details. BITS takes place on Saturday mornings and all of our students are welcome.

Please join us for our next PTSA meeting at 7 PM in the library on Thursday, February 16th. Kathy Smith, FCPS School Board member will speak to us about issues that matter to us regarding our children’s education. We will hold a brief business meeting before we open the floor to Kathy. I encourage you to attend.

Thank you to the volunteers that helped make the school’s Blood Drive a success. Also Junior Night held January 10th was a success with many parents in attendance.

We recently received tickets for selected teachers to attend the George Mason University Men’s Basketball game on January 21st. The tickets were part of the “Super Teacher Night” promotion by the Virginia Lottery, the Northern Virginia District PTA and George Mason University. The evening is designed to pay tribute to our educators. This is just one more way to say “thank you” to Virginia’s dedicated teachers. Read more details.
